Career Development for Business Students
Become powerfully positioned to land a position—or advance your career—in your chosen profession. A wide range of programs, events, courses and opportunities create a business education with exceptional career impact.
The career center has been helping me ever since I arrived at Adelphi. I’ve taken advantage of almost all of its programs. It helped me land internships, develop business and communications skills, build my professional brand and grow my network. I still go to the center regularly to review my résumé and my LinkedIn profile.
