The Career Connections Center prepares students for careers in an increasingly competitive global job market. Career Connections helps students maximize their college experience and create a unique combination of education, experience and skills for success in the ever-changing world of work.  We encourage all students to connect with their Career Consultant to define and refine their career goals. From choosing a major, getting career-related experience, creating a job search strategy, or a graduate school plan, one of our nationally accredited Career Consultants can guide students every step of the way.

  • Attend a workshop or employer connection event to get started on developing career readiness. Check out our calendar of events

Career Connections works in collaboration with Academic Advising. While we can help students decide what major best suits their interests and skills, students need to meet with an Academic Advisor to declare or change their major.
