Career Development for Business Students

This six-step approach to career readiness is unique to the Willumstad School. Through tech credentialing, career guidance, innovative academics, leadership training, networking and personalized learning, you will be ready to jump-start your career.

Internships, job shadowing and mentorships with local business entities are a priority at the Willumstad School for undergraduate students and graduate students alike. Organizing directly with our deep network of alumni and local business partners, 95% of our internships are paid, and many result in jobs after graduation. Adelphi has close ties to companies and organizations all over the New York City area—like IBM, Marks Paneth, KPMG, Morgan Stanley, Credit Suisse, Merrill Lynch and EY.

Passing the different parts of the CPA exam while in graduate school greatly increases your marketability. If you enroll in one of our graduate accounting degree programs such as the MBA with accounting specialization or the MS in Professional Accounting, you’ll also have the opportunity to prepare for the CPA Exam in dedicated online classes run by the industry leader, Becker Professional Education.

The Center for Career and Professional Development prepares students — and graduates — for rewarding careers in business. Their “Prep for Success Program” program, an innovative approach to career readiness, provides resume tips, leadership skills, interviewing guidance, and internship placement. This program was the sole national winner of the prestigious John L. Blackburn Exemplary Models Award from the American Association of University Administrators.
