Education Career Path

​If you’ve chosen the Education career path, your next step is to choose which guided pathway within the career path is the best fit for you.

Your pathway advisor is happy to meet to discuss your academic goals. And your career coach is eager to meet to discuss your career goals. Both have tools to help you pick the right guided pathway.

Also, consider your personality and temperament when exploring which guided pathway within Education fits you. Enthusiastic and patient? Consider early childhood development. Adaptable and social? Teaching high school classes may be ideal.

Whatever your strengths, the advisors and coaches can help you — from start to finish.
