One really neat thing about the college is the College Work Experience Program, which is like no other! All full-time students are guaranteed on-campus jobs during fall and spring semesters.

An important aspect of the Work Experience Program is that students first work in an entry level position and then have the opportunity to accept increasing responsibility and increasing pay. Many students ultimately end up serving as supervisors, trainers and mentors to other students. This is amazing training for a student’s future career.
