Career Center Annual Reviews

Interested in what we have been up to? The Career Center produces an Annual Review that highlights our team, our successes, and our partnerships! Find out more below:

Who does the Career Center serve?: Prospective students, students, and alumni.

What major will guarantee me a job?: No major guarantees you a job. In fact, many job seekers are surprised to learn that employers care more about your experience than your specific major. Employers want to see how you apply your classroom learning to your professional self. A major will not define your career path or close off opportunities for you. Pick a major you are interested in and work towards gaining real world experience while you are in school.
