The following are some key aspects of career development that you might want to explore during your first two years at Regis.

On-Campus Employment
We assist students in securing on-campus employment opportunities. Students who qualify for the Federal Work-Study Program receive first priority for these positions. Students without these qualifications may be considered for on-campus employment starting each October.

Career Counseling/Assessment
We offer career counseling, including individual counseling sessions, to help students identify and explore possible career paths. Career assessment complements the career counseling process and may include some or all of these elements:

• Identifying your interests, abilities, preferences, and work values
• Meeting with a career counselor to facilitate the self-assessment process
• Recommending and helping you to interpret assessments such as the SIGI 3 Career Planning Software, Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), and Self-Directed Search (SDS).

Choosing a Major
Regis students can choose from 23 academic majors. Which one is right for you and your possible career paths? In addition to the guidance you receive from your academic advisor, we can help you narrow down your options and make an informed decision.

Study Abroad
For those students looking to experience something new, we encourage you to consider a semester, summer or full year studying abroad. These opportunities are open to all students who meet the following requirements:

• the successful completion of sophomore year
• a GPA of at least 2.75
• the submission of the application and related paperwork
  
  

The Office of Career Development maintains information on various programs and can help you identify the most appropriate option based on your goals. Regis is affiliated with the following institutions:

• Regent's College in London (students may apply for financial aid for this program, with the exception of the Federal Work-Study portion of the award)
• Loyola University of Chicago in Rome
• Notre Dame Women's College in Kyoto, Japan

If you're interested in foreign study, please schedule an appointment with associate dean of academic affairs Sarah Barrett at sarah.barrett@regiscollege.edu at least nine months before your planned departure date.

Résumé and Cover Letter Writing
Developing a professional résumé and cover letter is an absolute must for most anyone searching for an internship or job. We provide assistance in the form of a guidelines sheet, action verb list, and samples for you to review. In addition, we encourage you to schedule an appointment with a career counselor to tailor your résumé and cover letter to your specific objective.

Alumnae Advisors
Perhaps the most valuable career resource you will have as a Regis student and graduate is our network for alumnae. Through our Alumnae Advisors program, you can learn about specific jobs, careers, and industries by speaking with alumnae who have offered to serve as mentors.

Our alumnae can help you clarify your career options in ways such as these:

• Informational interviews: Learn about typical job duties and qualifications, educational requirements, entry paths, and career satisfaction issues.
• Panel presentations: Participate in forums in which alumnae talk about their careers.
• Job shadowing: Spend part of a day at an alumna's work site observing and asking questions.
• Internship opportunities: Enjoy practical work experiences (for academic credit) that are supervised by alumnae.
• Job search assistance: Network with alumnae who can make referrals to professional contacts.
