Career Development
From students’ first semester through graduation, the Career Development Office is an integral part of the North Park student experience. Career Development provides professional assessment, resume development, local and national internship opportunities, career counseling, and industry-specific job fairs. Senior staff members also provide coaching and career-mapping tools for graduate students and alumni.
Our program offerings prepare students to compete in a fluctuating job market. To complement North Park’s rigorous course offerings, Career Development has developed the Career Advantage program. Career Advantage provides professional development experiences, including opportunities to create unique personal brands, develop professional networks, and gain valuable skills in their field of interest.
CD also offers a wide range of internship opportunities, connecting students to their disciplines and career interests or stretching them to consider new growth opportunities. Specific academic internships are coordinated with faculty sponsors, allowing students to earn up to four credit hours per semester, and up to eight total credit hours during their time at North Park. Interested undergraduate students must submit an application to CD two semesters prior to the intended internship. For more information, contact the Career Development Office at careers@northpark.edu.
