A&S Career Resources

Our Mission is to assist College of Arts & Science students in integrating their knowledge and experience through internships and career coaching. We partner with the MU Career Center to connect students with tools like Handshake for job opportunities and CliftonStrengths to help them explore their strengths and career goals.

Whether you're studying biology or sociology, architecture or textile & apparel management — or any of the more than 30 A&S degree programs — we'll help you get career ready with knowledge, skills and experiences that will serve as a springboard for success long after graduation.
