CORE (Careers, Opportunities, Research, Exploration)
A career center like no other
The foundation of a liberal arts education helps our grads find career success regardless of their major. CORE helps them find the extraordinary learning experiences and a network of mentors and advisors that sets Augustana grads apart from the competition.
And it shows in the stats and stories of alumni success.
At core you will:
• Work side-by-side with professional career coaches to find and use your best academic and co-curricular experiences to prepare for your future success.
• Customize your network of mentors, resources and experiences — including career and vocation, graduate school, internships, study abroad, research, entrepreneurship and community outreach.
• Apply your Augie Choice and other funding opportunities to your high-impact learning experiences. Augie Choice provides every student up to $2,000 to pursue study abroad, an internship or research with a professor.
