Exploring Career Options for Course-based Programs

Some course-based Master’s programs are designed to prepare students for specific career paths; others equip students with skills that can be applied in multiple career options. Either way, students may find themselves wondering how to identify possible career options. This session will provide strategies for identifying possible career paths, and assessing those options, as well as connecting a course-based Master’s degree to a variety of career options.  

This session is part of the Career Workshop Series. Participants will benefit from attending multiple workshops in the series, but they can choose to attend only those that best fit their interests and availability.
