Dear Diana,
Life after college probably seems far down the road as you ponder the end of high school and the launch of your college career. If you feel as though high school has gone by quickly, you will appreciate how important it is to get an early start on identifying your career path and taking steps to prepare for your professional life as early as your freshman year. A Loyola Marymount University education integrates Career and Professional Development into the curriculum, insuring all students find opportunities throughout their four years to engage in meaningful preparation for life after college.
Even before classes begin, you will be invited to take the Clifton StrengthsFinder. This assessment highlights your natural talents and serves as a valuable resource in identifying major, career, and leadership opportunities. Coaches from our Career and Professional Development office will meet with you individually, helping you understand and leverage your results.
Internships are a valuable component of career preparation, and LMU offers 1,500 opportunities annually. Over two-thirds of LMU students take advantage of internships during their college experience, building desirable skills while connecting classroom learning to real world situations in the for-profit, non-profit, government, and service sectors. Internships abound in Los Angeles but can be pursued as far away as Beijing or London, to name just two international possibilities.
Experiential learning connects classroom and real world experience. Courses which emphasize community engagement and the opportunity to observe, analyze, and test classroom learning in real world situations can be found in all of LMU's undergraduate colleges; from science to film making, business to liberal arts, creative arts to education.
Combining these and other career and professional development experiences with our Los Angeles location and Jesuit tradition of educating men and women for and with others, Lions can define and pursue meaningful and purposeful lives after LMU.
