The University Career Center is designed to meet the career planning and placement needs of all MTU students. Students are encouraged to visit the Career Center early in their academic career. By participating in summer or co-op work experiences, learning how to interview, and being introduced to the corporate world, students will be better prepared to look for permanent employment. Students are also encouraged to attend the many job fairs sponsored by MTU both on and off campus. Professional counselors are available in the Counseling Center, which is located on the main campus in the white house between Fisher Hall and Walker Arts and Humanities Center.
Confidential services are available on both an individual and group basis.
Any concern a student may have, including depression, pregnancy, anxiety, loneliness, substance abuse, or relationship problems, can be discussed with a counselor. The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator is administered and interpreted. Workshops are offered in the areas of time management, study skills, eating disorders, substance abuse, and self-defeating behaviors. The Fine Arts Department presents cultural events and activities for the campus and community. The University also sponsors The Troupe, an experimental improvisation ensemble.
