​ Career Development Office

​The first step in our students' success story is choosing the right major. To be able to do that, freshman students take a career-interest assessment to make sure that they are placed in the majors that suit ​their interests and abilities so that they can successfully pave the way for their future careers.

​The career interest assessment, which is done by administering an internationally recognized assessment, is followed by a consultation/coaching session with a certified specialist.

​Students can schedule a one-on-one session to discuss their interests, strengths, and aspirations, and receive personalized advice tailored to their unique career paths ​such as: planning their careers, developing their skills, reviewing their resume, taking mock interviews, and sitting for assessments to raise their self-awareness to become prepared to succeed in their future careers​​

​The Student Employment Program encourages students to be ​successful, efficient, and proactive in the University community provides them with the financial assistance that they may need, and gives them the chance to build up experience. The program is an hourly employment system.

The Office of ​Career Development coordinates a diverse range of on-campus employment options tailored to accommodate various interests, schedules, and career aspirations of students. On-campus employment opportunities include options such as working in the library, in data entry, photography, and design, along with other options.​​
