Arts and Sciences Career Development

Do you dream of starting your own business or becoming a professor and inspiring others? Do you want to work for an NGO and change the world or improve people’s lives through health-care discoveries? Maybe you think you’d make a great government leader, lawyer, philosopher, economist or computer scientist. Maybe you’re not sure of your path, but you have some subjects that interest you.

Arts & Sciences Career Development offers various career development tools and services to help both undergraduate and recent graduate liberal arts students define and pursue their goals. We are available to meet with students from first-years to seniors to discuss career exploration, job search strategies and communication with employers, including resume reviews and practice interviews. Career interest and skill assessment tools are available via individual career counseling appointments.
