About

 Welcome to the Career and Counseling Parent Page

Did you know . . . that parents are the #1 influence over their sons/daughters educational and career choices!

UMC wants to help parents to help their sons/daughters to prepare for and make sound career and educational decisions.

University freshmen aren't the only ones who may feel a little anxious when they arrive on the University of Minnesota, Crookston Campus. Parents face their own uncertainties about how to let go and yet remain involved in their sons/daughters lives throughout their college career. The Career and Counseling Department responds to parental concerns and offers a network of support and information about careers, counseling, alcohol and other drugs, diversity and multicultural affairs, and disability services.
