Your major does not have to equal your career. This is why the DePaul Career Center transformed the career services and advising model this year.
Career Communities are your guide for exploring interests and skills, making connections, discovering and designing career pathways, and launching your career. You must opt in to a community to start receiving the exclusive email alerts, targeted job & internship postings, tailored industry resources, career advising and more!
