Advising / Create a Four Year Plan
There are many wonderful possibilities for your future. While you may be uncertain about what you want to study, or what you want to be, it is certain that a college degree will benefit you regardless of your career and academic choices. According to the Census Bureau, over an adult's working life, high school graduates earn an average of $1.2 million and bachelor's degree holders earn about $2.1 million.
The BYU–Idaho Career and Academic Advising Center is here to guide you as you make career and academic decisions for your future. Our services are available to both future students and current students. These services include career assessments, major exploration tools, career exploration tools, and class planning assistance.
We encourage you to prepare a comprehensive four-year plan for your BYU–Idaho education together with our help. With your plan in place, you’ll know what to register for each semester, be better able to manage your desired credit load, and are more likely to graduate on schedule.
We look forward to working with you as you begin your career and academic decision process. Please visit the Career and Academic Advising Website for more information.
