What is the difference between a career coach and my academic advisor?

All Dual Enrollment students automatically receive an academic advisor, but a career coach must be requested. While your academic advisor exists to help you choose classes that will fulfill your academic goals, a career coach exists to help you determine your upper-level academic goals (choosing a major, choosing a career, etc.).
