Career Preparation

The advisers within the Career and Experiential Learning Lab collaborate with students, faculty, staff and external partners to design solutions for career success at every stage.  

In the College of Arts and Sciences, career development is an ongoing process—one in which you are engaged from your first day at Quinnipiac. In addition to a deep well of resources, our unique 360-degree advising structure seamlessly integrates your academic and career advising experiences while tailoring them to your strengths and career ambitions. Every experience you have in the classroom and during your internships is linked throughout your college experience, bridging the gap from student to professional.

To launch a successful career in a highly competitive business environment, you need real-world experience, industry connections, extensive networking opportunities and a level of polish that helps you stand out as a job candidate. That’s exactly what we provide. Our career development program prepares you for domestic and international internships — our 99.7% placement rate speaks for itself.

In addition to the industry knowledge and skills that come with a top-notch education, you’ll also need a strong professional network to land the right job in news, media and strategic communications. That’s where we come in. We’ll introduce you to the people and resources that will help translate your Quinnipiac experience into a rewarding career.

Technical proficiency and a sense of confidence on the job represent only a part of your professional development in the School of Computing and Engineering.

Faculty and members of our Career Development Office will help you find your specialty and prepare you to launch a distinguished career as a clinician, imaging professional, rehabilitation specialist or scientist, to name just a few. You’ll gain the necessary skills, real-world experience and vital connections you’ll need to thrive in today’s quickly evolving healthcare marketplace.

Opportunities to build your professional expertise begin as soon as you step through the door of our law center. Professional development is woven through our JD curriculum, preparing you for the many dimensions of actual practice — and the complex situations faced by your future clients.
