How does Lycoming prepare students for jobs or graduate school?
All students, including first-year students and sophomores, are strongly encouraged to take advantange of the Center for Enhanced Academic Experiences (CEAE). The CEAE provides programming designed to individually enhance each student’s educational training with experiences outside the classroom.
Nearly 80% of Lycoming students complete one or more internships locally, regionally and nationally. As a major retail, financial, health care, judicial, and transportation hub, Williamsport is an ideal city for students to combine their classroom knowledge with real-world experience from as early as their first year.
Students are also encouraged to take advantage of various workshops, including résumé and cover letter writing, interviewing techniques, LinkedIn, networking, dining etiquette, job search strategies, and grad school preparation. Students also can attend job fairs with recruiters from regional, national, and international firms.
Faculty members typically serve as the primary mentors in shaping and molding students for entry into graduate or professional school, while CEAE staff helps with many of the details. Those preparing for professional school such as law, medicine, or seminary will receive special counseling from the appropriate pre-professional advising team. A large selection of books, practice tests and many other resources are available to help students prepare for the MCAT, LSAT, GRE, DAT, and the MAT.
