Career and Field Experience Advising
Students should begin to explore the world beyond the university as early in their undergraduate experience as possible to help ensure a smooth and successful transition from school to work or to further study. Campus Career Services houses staff that assist College of Social and Behavioral Sciences majors with Career Planning and Field Experience. Staff are available to help students make intelligent, well-informed career choices, and to provide undergraduates with opportunities to obtain experience through internships, cooperative education, and service learning programs.

For further information on career and field experience services, please consult the Undergraduate Advising and Requirements Handbook, available at the Social and Behavioral Sciences Advising Center and on the college’s website.
