Careers and Jobs

Job prospects for Computer Science and Applied Computing Technology (ACT) majors and graduates are excellent.

Locating an appropriate part-time job, internship, or full-time, post-graduate job can take a little effort, but there are many resources to help you.

Career Center

The CSU Career Center is the central clearing house for off-campus employment, and students consistently praise its services. The Career Center is located in Ammons Hall on the north side of the Oval. They can help you with both internships and full-time, professional employment. They can also help you design a job search strategy and create a resume. Students seeking employment are encouraged to register with the Career Center.

Contact Judy Brobst, Career Center Liason for the College of Natural Sciences.

Job Announcements through the CS Department listserver

Many companies wish to target students in the Computer Science Department directly. These employers, generally local technology companies, email us job descriptions, and copies of the announcements are then sent to students' CS email accounts via the CS Department listserver. If you do not read email on your CS account, you should create a .forward file in this account to forward the email to the account you do use.
