Career and Internship Resources

AGNR in partnership with the University Career Center & The President's Promise wants to ensure that students are prepared and career ready for successful opportunities after graduation.

There are many programs, events, workshops and resources that are available to students to assist in career and professional development.

CAREER ASSISTANCE

The University Career Center has converted all in-person career advising to virtual appointments. Students should schedule individual virtual appointments through Careers4Terps.

CAREER COURSES

For some students, the most effective way to learn about career development is through  a course. We offer the following courses that address aspects of career development, internship or job search preparation.

  • EDCP108I: Academic Transition into Internships (7 - week, one-credit, online asynchronous course)

  • PSYC123: The Psychology of Getting Hired (semester long, one-credit, online asynchronous course)


CAREER EVENTS

The University Career Center organizes a variety of events -- workshops, panels, career fairs and networking events --  to help students explore careers, develop as professionals and connect with employers and alumni. A full list of events can be found on our Events Calendar.

Newsletter: The UMD community can stay abreast of our career events by signing up for our Career Newsletter
