The Self-Directed Search (SDS) is a career test which designed to help you as a student become more aware of your interests and skills so that you can choose a major that would lead to a more successful and satisfying career path. Some incoming freshmen may find the SDS in their Incept folder. If you do not have one, we will give the test to you free when you attend the workshop. The Career Development Center has arranged a number of SDS workshops that fit your schedule. The workshop will last one hour and 30 minutes. Through the workshop, you will learn more about the test results, the steps to making a career decision and various career development activities that are available on this campus. If you are interested, please call us at 404-651-2215/6 and ask for SDS workshop.
