Welcome to Career Services

There are many opportunities open to students in every major. Some majors are linked directly to careers while some majors are not, but provide transferable skills and many career options. There are careers that require specific licensure or certification and those careers with companies and organizations that recruit from all majors.

It's often easy to make assumptions about career fields before you have all the facts. Take the time now to do your research and explore the possibilities.
