Some students have a clear-cut idea of what they want to do after graduation. Others change their minds and majors one or more times. Others come to college undecided and uncertain about how to choose a major and a career.
Assumption’s Office of Career Services is here to help all students from the day you arrive on campus. Our experienced, full-time staff members provide guidance, resources, and support as you explore academic and career options, set goals, and work towards post-graduation success. It is a process that begins with the CALL (Career And Lifelong Learning) Program in your first year and culminates at graduation as you move into your career or graduate school. We’re with you every step of the way.
Career Services staff provide the following services:
- Individual and group appointments to discuss academic and career options
