  "The mission of the Counseling Center for Human Development is to help students grow as whole individuals --- emotionally, intellectually, and socially. Counseling Center professional staff assist students in improving self awareness, exploring personal concerns, improving learning skills, and making academic, career, lifestyle, and relationship decisions."

"The Counseling Center's career services are designed to assist students with the process of career planning and decision-making including selecting a major, maximizing abilities in making informed decisions and creating options for engaging in fulfilling and meaningful work. Services include:

  • intake evaluation and disposition
  • assessment of interests, abilities, and work styles
  • individual and group career counseling
  • informational services
  • consultation

Professional counselors help students explore individual needs and preferences relevant to identifying an academic major. Formal assessment services may further clarify career options and personalize a career path. Several computerized career information and guidance systems, SIGI PLUS, FOCUS, and Career Finder, also assist students in the process of self-assessment and career exploration.

In addition, students, staff and alumni may use the Career Information Library, which provides extensive information on thousands of careers, including:

  • work duties and responsibilities
  • educational requirements
  • work environment
  • salaries
  • career outlook

The Counseling Center maintains a strong working relationship with the Career Center. Together, we provide the USF student community with an integrated model of career development. Our career services assist students in developing realistic educational and career goals through greater self-understanding, reality-based decision-making, and effective problem-solving. The Career Center offers numerous implementation services (job search strategies, resume writing, interview tips), an extensive employer library, and on-campus employment interview opportunities."
