Undergraduate students meet one-on-one with Peer Career Specialists who are highly trained MU students with in-depth career knowledge. Our friendly and resourceful staff make talking about major and career questions an easy and comfortable process. 

Peer Career Specialists represent a diverse group of undergraduates and graduate students who are wholly committed to helping others. When you engage with us, you’ll discover more about who you are and get the information and resources needed to pursue your career goals.

Students can speak with a Peer Career Specialist in-person or via Zoom weekdays between 9:00 a.m.- 4:00 p.m. Schedule an appointment or drop-in (map).
