Some suggestions for exploring the options below:

  1. Find out the tasks and responsibilities that go with the career. What types of settings might you work in?
  2. Identify whether graduate school or additional training would be required after you complete your undergraduate degree at SLU. Visit the websites of graduate/training programs to check out the types of courses you would take - do you get excited about what you would learn?
  3. Observe or shadow someone working in the career you’re interested in. Visit the Career Services office for assistance in arranging these opportunities.
