Through career planning students gain self-understanding, explore careers, and have opportunity to couple academics with experience. Encouraging personal career responsibility, the Center for Career Development supports all students in their career journeys by providing resources, connections, and communities to make informed transitions through explorations and experiences. Within the Center for Career Development is the Office of Health Professions who supports Gustavus students and alumni considering health professions careers with prerequisite course planning, gaining experience, and graduate application assistance.
