Research & Academia
The Career Center offers services and resources targeted to the needs of master’s and Ph.D. students in all disciplines. We recognize that advanced degree candidates have different career needs than undergraduates. We also understand that individual graduate students have unique expertise, skills, life and work experiences and personal circumstances. Master's and doctoral students are encouraged to schedule an individual appointment with a career counselor/advisor, and to use all the resources offered by the Career Center. We can help you:
- Define career direction and set goals
- Obtain internships
- Find on-campus employment
- Find a graduate assistantship on Handshake (Job/Internship Search > Job Type: Graduate School)
- Develop job search skills (resumes, CVs, cover letters, interviewing)
- Connect to employers
- Continue with your graduate education
Whether you are in grad school to enhance your skills and train for your current job or are considering a career change, a recommended strategy is to take a thorough assessment of your strengths and evaluate how your current education is transferable to industry. By pursuing your graduate degree, your earning power has increased. For help with your job search or career transition we strongly encourage you to meet with one of our career counselors/advisors.
