Career Support

We're Here to Support Your Career Goals

At the UNH College of Professional Studies, we're focused on supporting adult students like you. We are very motivated to make sure that you get an education that will work for you and provide opportunities for your personal and professional growth. Our student community includes adults at every stage of career development and our team is prepared to meet you where you are on your personal career path. Whether you are a career launcher (just starting your career), changer (looking to change industries or professions), or advancer (seeking to advance or modernize your skills), everyone can benefit from individualized career planning.

Exploratory advising is a process that focuses on cross-curricular academic advising, career assessment, and guided exploration of major options. If you're new to UNH CPS and would like to meet with our Academic Advisor and Career Specialist, call us at  (855) 472-4255 or Schedule an Appointment.

At the College of Professional Studies, our community is comprised of working adult students so we design our degree programs to integrate with your career and goals. There are several types of courses at the College that incorporate work experience. Current students work with their faculty member and advisor to determine the best option for their unique goals.

The most common types of opportunities you’ll encounter include:

Internships

During internships, students work at a company, school, agency, or organization on an assignment or project that lasts up to an academic term in duration.

Practicums

Similar to an internship, a practicum is a course that requires both classroom time and several hours of work in the field at a company, school, agency, or organization.

Integrative Capstones

This is the final course students take in their degree program. The coursework integrates the concepts, outcomes, and knowledge gained throughout the duration of the degree program, with a culminating project, research, or internship experience that demonstrates what the student has learned.

Career Ready: UNH CPS & Workforce Connections
