What Will Your Path to Success Be<\/h2>\n

\n

I’m Just Getting Started<\/h3>\n

\"Empty<\/p>\n

We all start somewhere! Maybe you just graduated from high school and think that two or three majors sound interesting. (Okay, maybe four or five…) Or you might have completed some of your requirements and want to know, “What next?” We’re here to help you follow your passions and <\/em>make informed choices about what you need to do to succeed after BSU.<\/p>\n

Choose Your Major<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

Halfway There<\/h3>\n

\"Two<\/p>\n

You’re a sophomore or junior. (Or a really eager first-year.) You’ve created a degree plan with your academic adviser, but you’re curious about getting real world experience. How do you get an internship? What kinds of skills do you need to be career ready?<\/p>\n

Attend Our Fairs, Events and Webinars (and Meet Some Employers, Too)<\/a><\/p>\n

Career, Here I Come<\/h3>\n

\"Two<\/p>\n

Your schedule is packed with capstones and projects and advanced seminars. You have a resume (but it could use a bit of work.) You have some experience — maybe most of it is academic, with an internship or some work study peppered in. How do you translate all the skills and knowledge you’ve earned into a 300-word cover letter? How do you apply for a job? And where do you find one, anyway?<\/p>\n
