Knowing where to begin in the graduate school process is hard.  We’re here to help you narrow down your choices and provide resources for completing your applications, writing your personal statement, and choosing which program is right for you. 

Our career counselors can discuss your concentration choices and possible careers beyond your time at Soka with you in one on one appointments. 

We offer two types of career assessments for students, Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) and Strong Interest Inventory (SII). If one of these sounds like a good fit for you, contact our office to schedule an appointment. 

MBTI is an assessment that helps you understand your personality type, personality preferences, and how those preferences affect your career choice. For this assessment, you don’t need to know what work tasks you like or are good at – the questions you’ll answer are simply about who you are and how you do basic things in your daily life.  You’ll be provided with a report of your results, which will be interpreted for you by your Career Counselor. This assessment will provide information on the career fields other people with your same personality type are most likely to be working in.

SII is an excellent assessment to take when considering choosing a concentration and discovering new career paths, and the college profile recommends majors, internships and activities. It takes approximately 30-45 minutes to complete and requires one follow-up appointment with a career counselor to discuss your results.
