Career Prep Academy

The Career Prep Academy is a career exploration support program for undergraduate students at any stage of their career development, from undecided and internship seekers to graduating students ready to start careers or apply to post-grad programs. We offer three unique levels to best serve students where they are.


The Academy lasts 8-weeks, with classes meeting 50-minutes per week. Attendance is required for the Academy.
