Career Counseling
The Career Center helps students explore career interests and learn about what degree programs are right for them. Working with a career counselor, we will assess your strengths, skills, interests, and accomplishments to help you identify internship opportunities and career goals that match your educational and professional needs.
We also provide many services such as career exploration classes, job fairs, and workshops to help you prepare your resume and develop job search and interview skills.
