- Utilize the MyPlan career assessments to help you explore careers of interests and majors that are related to those careers
- Make an appointment with a staff member of the Career Development Center
- Visit the CDC and review the Major binders, which include information on each major and potential career paths
- Download the latest Post-Graduation Report to learn where WPI students go on to work and attend graduate and professional school
