Career Support

Through the Career Advantage Program, you can sign up for a mentor in an area you might be interested in. You can go to events the mentor organizes and the mentor can help you with mock interviews and resume checks. You can also visit your mentor at work. It's all about finding what your interested in and helping you as a professional.

"Just because you're a transfer doesn't mean anything. Once you get here you're all just Marshall students. It's a level playing field, it's what you do once you're here that matters." "As far as preparing me for my career, Marshall has been above and beyond my expectations."

Membership in the Trojan Family means getting the support you need.

At Marshall, that translates to a focus on mentoring: helping students at all stages develop critical relationships that encourage their growth and take them to their next step.

The transition from high school to college can be challenging. The Marshall Connections Program (MCP) helps students connect with Marshall students, faculty, staff and business professionals. Our Business Casual Lunches and Faculty Mentor Lunches give first year students the opportunity to network both formally and casually with Marshall professors. Our Marshall and Beyond Program empowers first year students to develop leadership and planning skills as they develop networking events that connect students with faculty and industry professionals.

Student mentors in Business and Cinematic Arts and Marshall's Global Leadership Program provide additional mentoring support for students.

Marshall's Career Advantage Program (CAP) brings together over 125 USC Marshall alumni to create a supportive relationship that maximizes student's career development potential.

The BRIDGE Externship Program pairs sophomore, juniors and seniors with USC Marshall alumni, who help students make connections and acquire professional experience.

Many undergraduate students receive additional mentoring support from our dedicated faculty, staff and Trojan Family members even outside these formal program.

Career Development

My first internship was at Fox in broadcast standards and practices, and I did a rotation through different departments. Then I worked at the CNN White House unit over the summer. I was the operations intern for international distribution. Last summer I was a marketing intern at National Geographic and now I'm doing website development at a tiny internet start-up. I found a lot of these jobs through contacts at USC.
