Explore Career Resources & Opportunities

Whether you are exploring career paths, searching for internships or full-time roles, preparing to negotiate an offer, or building your professional network, these resources are designed to support you at every stage of your career journey. Use the tools below to connect with employers and alumni, research opportunities, strengthen your skills, and make informed career decisions.

  • Full-time
    • Full-time positions are positions with 30+ hours per week. For graduating seniors, the recruiting timeline for full-time positions will typically begin at the start of the Fall semester.
  • Internships
    • An internship is a temporary, full-time position intended to give undergraduate students experience in a particular field.
  • Externships
    • Externships are short, 1-2 day experiences designed to give undergraduate students a chance to learn more about a specific company and their opportunities, as well as a chance to network. Externships are typically intended for freshman or sophomore students who have not yet taken courses focusing on technical skills needed for the industry.
  • Micro-internship
    • Micro-internships are short-term, paid projects that can be completed at any time during the year. Micro-internships are a great way to add relevant experience to your resume. Due to the short-term nature of these projects, they are continuously being added to the micro-internships site, found here.
