The Lakeland Counseling & Advising Center meets students where they are and puts them at the center of everything we do.

By using culturally inclusive and ethical practices, we provide academic, admission, career, and personal counseling, and we teach a variety of personal development courses.

Professional counseling services are available to full-time, part-time or potential students. By discussing interests, achievements and goals, counselors can assist students in making realistic educational and occupational decisions. Whether you are a new or returning student, a recent high school graduate or an adult learner exploring a new career, the counseling and advising office will assist you in the successful completion of your educational and career goals.
