Career Information by Major

Students and recent graduates are often surprised to learn that most degrees have tremendous crossover potential. People are most certainly not constrained to careers within their discipline. Geography graduates work in marketing, political science graduates work in human resources, business graduates become teachers, religion and culture graduates work in sales, and sociology graduates work in finance. In fact, it is probably more common to find people working outside their field of study than within it.

Studies show that employers look for specific competencies in their employees:

Communication
Collaboration and teamwork
Adaptability and resiliency
Critical thinking and problem-solving
Functional knowledge and more!
