Welcome to Career Opportunities

Career Opportunities offers a variety of programs to assist VSU students in choosing their majors, identifying career objectives, obtaining practical work experience, and seeking relevant employment upon graduation.

Individual career counseling is available for students who wish to explore how their abilities, values, and interests match particular career fields. Seminars on career-related topics are also offered each semester. Students may utilize the varied resources in the office including printed career materials, video descriptions of occupations, and computer-assisted career exploration programs.

The office offers internships and cooperative education opportunities to assist students with gaining practical experience related to their career goals. Students who intend to graduate from VSU or who participate in a recognized transfer program are eligible to participate in the cooperative education program. Students must obtain sophomore status before being placed in a Co-op position and maintain a minimum GPA of 2.0.
