Your future is our priority. Our career development program is designed to be just as personalized and intense as our education.
Every student receives one-on-one career counseling to help create a resume and a job search strategy. Career counselors build relationships with potential employers to give students a leg up on the job market.
93% career placement a month after graduation
Career counselors work with professors to get alumni into the graduate programs that best fit them. Students are coached to take tests like the GRE or LSAT. Professors know their students and write strong letters of recommendation.
40% of alumni go on to study at graduate school
At Southern Virginia, career counselors get to know students. Students and counselors work together to develop a plan to strengthen their resumes and find success after graduation.
Students should meet with the career center at least once a year and even more frequently as they approach graduation. Schedule meetings on the Knight App.
Our liberal arts plus education combines the critical thinking and communications skills of the liberal arts with specialized career training to make you uniquely valuable to potential employers and investors.
Experience provides powerful career preparation. Career counselors network with organizations and employers to provide students and graduates meaningful internship opportunities that will prepare them with experience and connections.
