Most importantly, we offer the tools and resources needed to help students develop their career pathways.

We encourage students to begin using Career Services resources early. Start by creating a CV or resume and getting this reviewed. Also join arts networking organizations and attend Career Service events such as panel discussions in order to network and meet professionals. Speak with art world experts, your academic advisor and Director of Career Services about potential career paths.
