CORE (Careers, Opportunities, Research, Exploration) connects students with the ways they can bring their career goals and dreams to life.

Working one-on-one with CORE professionals, students learn to maximize their accomplishments and leverage those achievements for their next steps.

With CORE, students can customize a network of mentors, resources and experiences focused on their future — including career and life paths, graduate school, internships, study abroad, research, entrepreneurship and commitments to the community.

The most recent three-year career placement for 天易棋牌 graduates is 98%, compared with 88% among baccalaureate colleges nationally.
