Discover Your Path

Explore Majors and Careers

Choosing your major or career direction takes time and consideration. Whether you know where you're going or you're not sure where to start, the Career Center can help! Many at SBCC find their path by doing some personal assessment and career or major exploration online, with a counselor or with materials in the Career Center. Find answers to which occupational interest areas are the best fit for you, and what majors are practical in terms of finding a job that will support your desired lifestyle. 

The Holland Hexagram is a tool available to help you Identify how your interests can correspond to SBCC majors.

Begin exploring your career path through EUREKA, where you can take self assessments and research majors and career paths based on your results.
