  • Plan an Alma Venture experience that will help you gain a new perspective on your place in the world.

Explore careers

  • Although a few fields correspond with professions, such as engineering and nursing, most liberal arts degrees don’t point to specific employment routes. Rather, they provide a set of skills that help job seekers navigate the professional landscape. To decide which direction to head after graduation, focus on your competencies, not your major. The National Association of Colleges and Employers developed eight core competencies for a career-ready workforce. Explore what employers are looking for by visiting the National Association of Colleges and Employers website.
  • Using data from the U.S. Department of Labor, My Next Move has information about thousands of occupations and allows students to search occupational information by industry, interest, and outlook.
  • Conduct informational interviews with family, friends, alumni, or other connections to learn about their career paths and what the day-to-day is is like in their profession.
