Office of Career Development

The Office of Career Development at UNCSA helps prepare our students for a successful transition from school to professional careers. It provides enrolled students with overall career planning that supplements the career advice provided by the arts school faculty. Students should consult with their individual arts school faculty members for career guidance in their specific fields and utilize the Career Development office for the following:
