MBA Career Services provides:

Networking Opportunities – Evening MBAs are welcome to attend all networking events held to introduce firms and alumni to students which include Meet the Firms, Fireside Chats and Spring and Fall Forums.

Road Shows and Treks (career oriented trips to other cities in the U.S.) – Please note that we cannot contribute any resources to these trips if your employer is paying any of your tuition.

The Mentor Program – The timing of your participation in the Mentor Program mirrors the timing for full time students. First years are eligible for the Mentor Program for first years and second year students are eligible to participate in the Mentor Program for second year students.

Job Search/On-Campus Recruiting (OCR) is available to third year Evening students.* Those who wish to participate in MBA OCR should schedule an appointment to talk with a MBA Career Services coach to determine whether pursuit of these positions aligns with their career goals.

If you decide to participate in on-campus recruiting a high level of preparation is expected. The following requirements must be met prior to participation in on-campus recruiting and includes approval by an MBA Career Services Coach:
