Try out Career Options

• Research jobs and workplaces: Informational Interviewing is a great way to learn about an industry and career path.
• Try out different work environments: Professional experiences and internships – Experiential learning is a way to link what is learned in the classroom to real-world experience. In fact, experiential education can also lead to more powerful academic learning and help students achieve intellectual goals commonly associated with liberal education, including:
  • a deeper understanding of subject matter;
  • develop critical thinking skills and application of knowledge in complex or ambiguous situations
• Gain experience on-campus: Working in a leadership or administrative position for a student organization can support your professional development, provide insight into career functions, and help develop project management and communication skills.
