Career Guidance

“There comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular, but s/he must take it because conscience tells him/her it is right.” - Martin Luther King

Many students find the process of selecting a major at AUB to be challenging. This step is about matching your skills, interests, values, and work-style to be compatible with career options and making decisions. Decision-Making is not only an analytical process, but also takes into consideration your values, work-style, and personality, as well as your passions and vision.
