Undergraduate Resources by Major
The HFA Advising & Career Center is here for you. On this page, you’ll find:
- Industry-Specific Job Boards: Supplement your Handshake search with sites that provide even more opportunities. In addition to your own major, explore resources under other major(s) of interest to suit your career curiosity.
- Professional Associations: Learn about job fields, find employers, and discover companies and organizations you may want to target for opportunities.
Remember: Your major is not your professional destiny. It’s a body of knowledge, a way of thinking and skills you have acquired. You may have several careers and many jobs over a lifetime and your major will be but one tool you use to reach them.
