out about upcoming career events sponsored by Experiential Learning and Career Services.
What should I major in? What can I do with this major?
The Office of Experiential Learning and Career Services welcomes you to Focus 2, our
online self-assessment! Focus 2 is quite helpful in assisting you with selecting a
major, clarifying career goals and providing valuable occupational information.
Who should take FOCUS?

After you have completed the assessment the best way to understand your results is

potential majors and careers.
Post-Graduate Planning
Experiential Learning and Career Services provides opportunities for students to speak
with representatives of graduate schools and other programs such as the Peace Corps,
Americorps and Teach for America at the annual Wells College Graduate and Professional
Schools Fair held in September. In addition, Wells students are invited to participate
in job fairs at Cornell University, Ithaca College, and in Rochester and Syracuse,
New York. These provide opportunities for students to meet with representatives from
business, government, and nonprofit agencies. Notices of job openings in career fields
of interest to liberal arts students are shared with students. Employment readiness
programs are directed to students during their senior year, and special attention
is given to students applying to graduate and professional schools as are summer job
opportunities, internships, and scholarships and fellowships for graduate and professional
school.
