Career Exploration & Counseling

Internships 101

Finding a career path that suits your skills, interests and abilities takes time and effort. There are lots of choices out there, too. If you don’t know which way to turn, University Division’s Career Counseling services are here to help. We offer services that help you assess your interests and strengths. You’ll learn how to identify the academic subjects you prefer and find out more about majoring in those disciplines. Career Counseling

Internships translate classroom theory into application and provide a practical framework for academic coursework, enhancing your resume, by providing networking opportunities, and may even lead to a permanent position! If you are interested in an internship, register with Career Services and Internships and schedule an appointment with the appropriate internship coordinator. Internships & Co-ops

Students and alumni have access to our online job bank, Eagle Career Launch, to pursue part- and full-time jobs, internships, and co-ops. Employers can post jobs that are suitable for alumni with degrees or for students while they are in school.
