Career-Related Class Assignments

Below you will find a variety of sample assignment topics that can be used for career research papers, extra credit and special projects. 

**Faculty members who are considering requiring students to meet with a Career Advisor as part of a class assignment, are asked to first coordinate the assignment with Career Development Services to ensure staff availability. We recommend faculty first offer an in-class CDS presentation on the assignment topic prior to any required career advising appointments as this allows for a more in-depth advising session.

 Sample student assignments include: 

  • Take MyPlan's career assessments (see our "Career/Major Explorers for links and instructions)
  • Conduct Career Exploration/Research on a Specific Major
  • Conduct an Informational Interview for a Specific Career
  • Conduct an Internship or Employment Search
  • Research​ Employment Trends in a particular Industry​
