Frequently
Asked Questions
I am a freshman. Should I be doing anything right now? Yes! The earlier you start thinking about your career, the more prepared
you will be when you begin looking for internships. At this point, you should
meet with Business Career Services staff members in Suite 215A DKH to discuss
possible careers and general timeframes you should consider.
