About Us
The mission of the Career Development Center is to help students define and create their unique visions by connecting their passions, interests, and skills to a meaningful profession.
By engaging employers, colleagues, and the community, the career development team works to develop opportunities for professional preparation through inclusive and progressive career-related services, programs, and events. Through conversations, career counseling, and coaching, students across academic disciplines find educational programming, jobs and internships, and vital resources designed to assist them throughout their college careers.
The Career Development Center is open to current Purchase College students who are matriculated in degree-granting programs. Many services and resources are also available to recent alumni and those who graduated with a degree from the College.
