The Career Exploration Program measures a variety of different skills:  Math Knowledge, General Sciences, Word Knowledge, Paragraph Comprehension, Electronics Information, Numerical Operations, Coding Speed, etc.  It also forecasts aptitude for career pathways and helps students decide their major fields of concentration.  Drop in the Counseling Center to pick up a copy of the ASVAB Career Exploration Program Overview Guide to learn more about the test and access sample test questions.

It's a college program offered at more than 1,000 colleges and universities across the United States that prepares young adults to become officers in the U.S. Military. In exchange for a paid college education and a guaranteed post-college career, cadets commit to serving in the Military after graduation. When enrolled in ROTC you learn first-hand what it takes to lead others, motivate groups and how to conduct missions as a military officer. If interested, meet with a recruiter during your junior year to learn more about the application process.
