Welcome to the FAMULY, Rattlers!
Greetings incoming Rattlers, and welcome to Florida A&M University!The Career and Professional Development Center (CPDC) wants you to start your journey on the Hill with the end in mind. True career planning starts now—not during your senior year. As a student at the nation's #1 Public HBCU, you are beginning a journey explicitly designed for leadership, global impact, and elite career success.
To jumpstart that journey, all incoming students have an important first step to complete before arriving on campus.
Your Orientation Requirement: You must complete the FOCUS 2 Career Assessment prior to your New Student Orientation Session. This self-guided tool takes about 45 minutes and helps us begin mapping out your academic and career goals early.
