PathwayU and Advisors

PathwayU is a tool to help our students make informed decisions about career areas and academic majors. The tool is single sign-on and career matches are mapped to Boise State’s academic programs. PathwayU is free and can be accessed anytime through Career Services’ PathwayU page.

PathwayU is an online career assessment that uses scientific algorithms to help students explore career options based on their interest, personality, values, and workplace preferences. The goal of PathwayU is to help students find a career with purpose and meaning. This assessment will not decide on a career for them, instead it will help students learn more about themselves and their career options.

PathwayU uses reliable and valid assessments to predict the level of fit between students and career paths based on students’ personal attributes and the unique characteristics of particular career paths, while providing students with useful, empirically supported feedback and support.

Advisors may recommend PathwayU when:

• Students are unsure of which possible major to pursue
• Students want to change their major but are unsure of what path to pursue
• Students don’t get accepted into a program
• Students have multiple interests but don’t know how to integrate them into a career plan

Students can follow up with a career counselor if they have additional questions by scheduling an appointment online, or by using the link within PathwayU to schedule an appointment.
