Our Career Services Team goes beyond the norm. Even before you arrive on campus, they will reach out to you and begin guiding you through the development of your own Personal Career Strategy (PCS). They will help you clarify your unique career goals and assist you to develop a comprehensive plan to achieve them.

In addition to this personalized career counseling and coaching, a wide range of career related experiences and workshops will prepare you for the "right job" after graduation and provide you a skill set that will serve you throughout your career.

Beyond your professional development, the Career Services team works with a variety of corporations and businesses to make their recruiting efforts as easy and effective as possible. This translates into a broader range of outstanding opportunities for you. Whether it is coordinating a company's recruiting visit to campus, assisting a student group with planning a visit to a corporate office, or introducing a student to an alum from their chosen industry, the Career Services team is continually working to provide you with the connections and experiences you need to be successful.

In terms of making connections, you will have another advantage: the Penn State Alumni Association--one of the largest, most influential alumni organizations in the world. Membership in it opens doors to great careers wherever you go. So when you graduate, we don't think of it as saying goodbye. You're saying hello to a world of opportunity. The proof of this is found in the vast number of companies and organizations led by our alumni today. The influence of the University reaches every corner of the country; indeed you could go almost anywhere in the world and find a useful connection.

Add in the additional resources available to you and you can see that a Penn State Smeal MBA will provide both the skills and the opportunities needed for success in today's global marketplace.
