Career Services

The Career Services Department is located on the first floor off of the Gallery.

Our Mission: To improve the future of our students and alumni by providing guidance and support in the areas of professional and career development.

Your career goals come into focus with the first job in your field after graduation.

The Career Services Department helps lay the foundation for your career search. Our staff of dedicated advisors works with employers to market our graduates and their capabilities. We generate job leads, match graduate skills with employer needs, and help graduates learn the lifelong skills of conducting a job search.
