Assessment Tools
Our assessments are designed to help you make informed decisions about your career options. Regardless of which assessment(s) you are interested in, please email the Career Center at career@sc.edu. We will connect you with the alumni career coach before taking any assessment(s) to determine which one(s) will benefit you most. Once you have completed your assessment, a qualified staff member will meet with you and help you interpret your profile. The coaching fee for the interpretation is $40*, unless you are a member of the My Carolina Alumni Association. Fees must be paid before a meeting with the career coach.
