Students today generally need more time and more advice in assessing the wider range of career and life options available to them. Connected to this is an increased need for assistance in academic planning. Students confront more diverse academic options in today's curriculum, and discover that college coursework decisions relate to today's expanded career options in increasingly complex ways. The process of adjusting to college life, with its greater demand for personal responsibility and independence, has always been challenging. It is now widely recognized that this process can be facilitated by a helping relationship with someone skilled in guiding young adults.
