Each of the assessment results link you directly with specific OU majors that connect to your unique interests. If you only have time to take one or two of them, your best go-to resources are the work interest assessment and values assessment for quick results.
After you’ve discovered your path at OU, find what you can do after graduation using Focus2 OU! All of the assessments work together to find various occupation paths for you. If you only have time for a few, we recommend you take the work interest assessment and the skills assessment for quick results. You can also explore any occupation using this tool and even compare multiple occupations. You can explore trends about that field like job outlook, earning and salary information, education requirements, professional associations and more!
If you’re not sure what to major in or what you want to do as an occupation, discover the industry (also known as Job Family) that you want to work in using Focus2 OU. Using the Explore Occupations by Job Family tool, you can discover occupations based on job families. Let’s say you know that you want to work in healthcare, but you’re not sure which occupation suits you best - this tool will help you discover the occupations in that job family!
After you complete the assessments, we highly encourage you to speak with a professional on campus to evaluate your results.
Follow up with the Career and Life Design Center for a comprehensive review of your results or if you would like to explore careers and experiences (like internships) in an area of interest.
