What Do You Need To Complete The Program?

Choose one of the following paths:

The Internship Preparation Seminar is a 1-credit, Pass/Fail course designed to help you achieve enhanced learning and experiential results. This hands-on, interactive approach prepares you to better qualify for an internship.

The goal of the Leadership Certificate Program is for undergraduate and graduate students to develop leadership and professional skills through a wide variety of topics discussed in workshops.

The Online Career Coach allows you to complete a course of career essentials on your own time. Each unit in the course consists of a LinkedIn Learning video and a short assignment that help hone your professional skills. You can also save the documentation from each unit and use it for future reference.

This option is ideal if you have a busy schedule or can not make it to the Garden City campus regularly.
