Relevant career preparation that starts right away.
Starting freshman year, we’ll immediately immerse you in a learning environment directly related to your major. And, instead of just doing busy work or making trips to the local coffee shop for your boss, you’ll begin to carry a workload similar to what you’d have in the workforce. You’ll get relevant, real-world experiences that will build your resume, help you know if you are pursuing the right career path and give you a smooth college-to-work transition after you graduate.
You won't have to go at it alone
Everyone knows that hands-on experiences are important in preparing you for your first job after college. And, while internships and practical experiences are technically available to any student at any university, most college paths leave it up to you to do the legwork of finding the right opportunity and making sure it fits your schedule. Not to mention you’ll probably have to spend time traveling to and from an off-campus location to complete the work.
Many college students find themselves struggling to get even one relevant internship that fits their career path, while also worrying about how to make it fit into their busy schedule.
That’s why, at BU@OCC, we’ve integrated practical training right into the program:
You don’t have to go out and find an internship or practicum – we have one for you right here.
You don’t have to worry about it being relevant to your field – we help you build an experience that fits your major.
You don’t have to make it fit your schedule – we already have time set aside during the week.
You don’t have to travel a long way to and from a different location – it’s all right here at Orchards or close by.
