Career Counseling
Understanding what career paths are available is a challenge for many college students, especially those who may still be exploring multiple academic program options. Newman offers individual career counseling and guidance to all students and recent alumni. Our career counselors work with students through a career-planning process that includes self-assessment, career exploration and independent research.
Employment Opportunities
Career Services at Newman University helps student find employment in many different ways. Services are available for students seeking part-time jobs on or off campus, opportunities to gain experience in their field through an internship or job shadow experience, and those trying to secure a professional position for after graduation. Newman hosts an annual career fair each spring on campus with several dozen local employers who are available to meet with interested students. Newman’s online job board also provides a platform where students can research and apply for on- and off-campus opportunities.
