Advising Students

 

Each department has a CSC Career Specialist liaison interested in working closely with departmental faculty and staff. CSC also has major-related resources outlining career options, salaries, and more.

 

CSC Industry Liaisons for Academic Departments

 

Career Specialists in CSC have particular industries of focus. While each advisor meets with students from all disciplines, the industry liaisons will develop a special expertise in careers, protocols, and employers within their industry. They also have a special interest in reaching out to students and academic departments associated with their industry, as follows:

Where Do UMBC Students Go? What Do They Earn?

 

To get a sense of where students head after commencement, each December and May, CSC surveys graduating students using UMBC's Graduating Student Report. Information on jobs, graduate programs, salaries, etc. is collected. For information collected from last year's survey, specifically for the students/academic department you oversee, contact your liaison (listed above).

 

You can also get an idea of national, entry-level salaries by major via the NACE Salary Survey. The complete report detailing most job functions, and master's and PhD salaries, is available in in our Career Resource Center (MP 212).

 

What Can My Students Do with Their Major?

• Information on possible industries, employer types, and job titles for each major
• Major-related online resources and links
• Hard copy major, career, and industry resources available in CSC's Career Resource Center
• Check our calendar for upcoming, career-related events (some major/industry-specific)

How Do UMBC Students Look For Jobs

 

UMBCworks is the free online recruitment system that all current UMBC students and some alumni have access to. Through UMBCworks students can look for on-campus employment opportunities, internships (facilitated by The Shriver Center), part-time jobs, and both entry-level and experienced full-time jobs.
