#### Academic and Career Advisement
Today’s career market requires that potential hires come prepared with the necessary skills, literacies and experience to thrive in the marketplace. To help guide students toward achieving this goal, we have built a new Advising Commons in the College of Arts & Sciences complex to facilitate our unique advising model, 360 Degree Advising, which combines academic and career advising. Students can gain advice and guidance to obtain domestic and international internships, attend career fairs and recruitment events with hundreds of corporations and companies, as well as be introduced to some of our 5,000+ professional contacts. This is how you will find your place among the 96% of our alumni who have either secured a full-time career that utilizes their passions and skills, or who are enrolled in graduate school 6 months after graduation on their way to securing that satisfying career. All College of Arts & Sciences students are encouraged to drop by the Advising Commons to talk with a dedicated specialist about how to thrive in this challenging marketplace, even after graduation. Once a Bobcat, always a Bobcat!
#### Experiential Learning
The College of Arts & Sciences has numerous experiential learning opportunities. Experiential learning extends the classroom beyond the four walls into the world outside, where students are asked to apply their classroom learning to solve a variety of real-world problems. It is the most powerful learning tool we have for preparing students to thrive in their chosen careers because it combines real-world application with understanding and mastery of the subject matter.
#### Internships
Many majors in the College of Arts & Sciences require that students participate in an internship, and we have dedicated faculty to support students in finding and applying to one or more internships during the academic year, or during school breaks. Students also have the opportunity to conduct independent research, or partner on faculty-led research in their respective fields of study.
