Overview of class

Program-sponsored internships empower students to connect classroom learning to real-world implications in professional practice. In this yearlong interactive course, students receive internship support, set goals for their professional and personal development, reflect on desired career interests, and prepare for the job search.

We provide students with individualized career coaching and workshops on LinkedIn, networking, résumés, cover letters, interviewing, job offer negotiating, and starting a new job well. We engage with program alumni and other expert speakers to learn about higher education functional areas (e.g. academic advising, policy, student affairs, central administration) and how to be successful in diverse workplace settings (e.g. liberal arts colleges, community colleges, research institutions, consulting firms, non-profit and governmental entities). Upon completing this course, students are positioned to be competitive in the job search process—more than 90% of our graduates have received a job offer within 90 days of graduation for the past 15 years.
