Through our commitment to the aims of a BYU education, which are to build faith,
intellect and character in our students, the mission of the Counseling and Career Center is to assist students with their transition from high school and adjustment
to college, continuing development and success in all aspects of their college experience and subsequent transition into meaningful and productive life roles.
We offer professional services designed to promote the balanced development of each student. Through counseling, advising, teaching, consultation and training,
we facilitate career development, success in learning and academic accomplishment, and overall personal growth and development in the lives of our students.
In order to better serve students, the services of the Counseling and Career Center are sustained by commitment to research, program development and to the
scholarship of our respective disciplines.
