The Career Services Office

This office is here to provide students in the visual and performing arts with the tools to build and invent their own creative careers.

Because your path and challenges go far beyond simply applying for published job openings, we provide presentations and individual appointments to help you explore all your options. Last year we took a trip to Chicago to interview gallery owners, and brought arts and industry experts in to discuss marketing and self-promotion, grant writing, and how to start your own business. We also provide individual appointments for any student wanting feedback on career goals, promotional materials, and job application materials. If you've got a question or would like to make an appointment, please feel free to contact us.
