Career Planning and Placement

The University maintains an active placement service to assist graduates in locating entry-level, educationally related career opportunities. The Career Services Office works directly with business, industry, and advisory board members to assist in each student's access to the marketplace and, as a by-product of this endeavor, assists employers in meeting their employment needs. This is accomplished not only by presentation of graduates as potential career professionals to employers, but also through aiding in the graduates' development of a positive self-image, and in assessing competencies, strengths, and career expectations.

Although the University does not, in any way, guarantee employment, it is the goal of the Career Services Office to help every student realize a high degree of personal and professional development and successful employment.

Current part-time and full-time employment opportunities are posted on the placement bulletin boards located at each University campus. Specific information on job opportunities and basic criteria applicable to all students and graduates utilizing placement services is available in the Career Services Offices.
