College & Career Advising
ASFA college and career advising assists students with developing long-range goals leading to college admission and guiding them through the process of discovering the best fit for their particular college placement. The college and career advisor also works in conjunction with the specialty faculty in aligning the students’ experience with future career opportunities.
