Career Planning
Many students are uncertain what to major in. They don't know how to select their focus from among the wide variety of options, while other students wonder where a given major may lead. They wonder what their future will be like if they choose a particular path. Our counsellors work with career-concerned students using a wide variety of resources. Our excellent stocked Career Resource Centre has all the information students need to make sound career decisions.

A student ambassador (current BU students) will act as tour guide for your tour. Our campus tour program is a basic one hour tour of the campus that includes a walk through all of our buildings. If you are planning to attend a lecture or would like a more involved tour, then go to our "Student for a Day" program. Contact Suzanne Letain at letain@brandonu.ca to book your tour!
