CAREER CHOICES
- View some Career Resources in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). Our faculty conducts mock interviews for students that desire practice before their actual interview at professional schools. Please use our links to assist you as you explore career opportunities.
- You can do more with mathematics than you think. From pure mathematics to education to applied mathematics, there are many options for today’s mathematics majors in the work force. Take a look at a list of careers using a mathematics degree.
- If you are looking for a strong income group for your future, look no further than a degree in computer science. Computer related fields are projected to grow by as much as 24 percent in the next 10 years. Check out some of the exciting opportunities for those with a degree in computer science.
- If you’re determined to find a job that pays top dollar, you’d be wise to study math and science. Lucrative careers exist for the history, English and foreign language majors out there, too, but they’re harder to find. Take a look at the list of undergraduate degrees by salary: Best Undergrad College Degrees By Salary.
- Software buildings skills can score you a nice paycheck. And, if you can add management responsibilities to your job description, you’ll likely enjoy a six-figure annual salary. See PayScale’s list of the most popular computer science degree jobs and consider which role might suit you best.
