UT's Career Services office can help you answer that question via career counseling, planning, and exploration.

» Want to dig deeper?

Undergraduates at UT can become involved in original and innovative study in any academic program under the direction of a faculty member. The Office of Research sponsors many Undergraduate Research opportunities where you may find yourself publishing your research or presenting it at a professional meeting, creating an original work of art, or submitting an original project to the annual Exhibition of Undergraduate Research and Creative Achievement (EURēCA).
