Career and Experiential Learning

The Center for Career and Academic Success provides resources and programs to help students explore and define their academic and career interests, gain related experience, and prepare for employment or graduate school. The Center supports the Felician Franciscan mission of the University by promoting experiential learning, encouraging reflection and ongoing skills development, and connecting students with a network of employers and alumni.

The Center assists graduate students as they explore career pathways, develop career plans and goals, prepare targeted job search documents, and build a professional network. Students may visit the Center in Falcon Commons on both the Rutherford and Lodi campuses for an overview of our services and one-on-one meetings with career advisors. Students may also schedule virtual appointments with career advisors.

The Center offers career programs for students, including workshops, employer information tables, industry panels, and career fairs. Students also have access to a full portfolio of online career resources, including: 

  • Symplicity, an online hub for jobs (full-time, part-time, student employment, graduate assistant positions), internships, and resume reviews;
  • BigInterview: Get hands-on practice with interview questions tailored to your major and area of interest, and benefit from AI feedback! 
  • FOCUS-2: Students can assess academic strengths and career readiness and learn how skills, interests, values, and personality relate to majors and career pathways;
  • What Can I Do with This Major? to help students connect majors to career pathways, employers, and strategies to maximize opportunities.

Students are encouraged to contact us or stop by Falcon Commons with any questions.
