Career Services Located in the Student Resource Center in Lower Blasco, the Career Services office offers students a variety of practical resources. While drop-ins are welcome, students seeking individual career counseling or personal assistance with resumes, cover letters, networking and job search strategies are encouraged to schedule an appointment in advance. Students requiring a resume can team up with our coordinator to prepare a camera-ready copy of their resume, free of charge, for internships, scholarships, graduate school or employment applications. Also available are the annual Employer Fair and Interview Day programs co-sponsored by our Career Services office and ten other Kansas City area colleges and universities. The program features three levels of instruction.
Class size is usually ten students or fewer to ensure personalized attention.
Students may register for ESL classes and courses in their major during the same semester. Up to seven credits of non-ESL classes in their chosen major may be taken, usually in areas such as accounting, computers, mathematics, and the arts. Upon successful completion of the ESL program, students may study for a degree full-time. The ESL program offers listening tapes and computer-assisted learning which gives students the opportunity to spend as much time as they like in learning English at their own speed. Through a cultural adaptation class, students learn about American customs and idioms, banking, shopping, telephone use, and local transportation.
