For many students, career development started in high school. Students often start Bridgewater College with a declared major and a clear career goal; others have an idea, but are still thinking about it; and there are still those who have no idea what major to choose. Regardless of where your child is in the decision-making process, the Office Career Services is here to help make the process effective and successful, while in school and beyond graduation.

Career exploration starts in the Freshman year and continues well past graduation. It happens in stages, starting with exploration and discovery and ending with clear career goals and a plan of action. The Office of Career Services can help your child prepare for success, whether the goal is entrance into employment or admittance into graduate school.

The Office of Career Services encourages you to review the Four-Year Action Plan, as well as other areas of the Career Services webpage to support your student's career development efforts.

We welcome you to lend your support by becoming involved in Career Services activities. Many opportunities exist to participate in events and services that will positively impact your student as well as his or her fellow Eagles.
