 | Sweet Briar College Career Services ranked in the TOP 10 in the USA from 2008-2011 according to the Princeton Review's "Best Colleges" publication!!! |
The Sweet Briar College Career Services Center provides comprehensive career services to students during their four years at Sweet Briar and to alumnae for a lifetime. We view career development as a lifelong process and feel that it is vital for students to begin their quest for a fulfilling career their first year as SBC students and to continue the process throughout their college years and beyond.
Our many services encourage self-confidence and professional competence, personal initiative, responsibility, an appreciation for diversity, flexibility, and the development of strong leadership qualities. We believe that each student at Sweet Briar deserves a tailored career advising approach that is created to market the advantages of the liberal arts degree. Since the 2004 – 2005 academic year we have extended our mission to include business, engineering, and graduate students in education. This customized career advising approach is possible because of the development of a strong career services model that offers each student the opportunity to utilize a variety of services focusing specifically on their field of interest in relation to the world of work. Our center is committed to building strong relationships with faculty, employers, graduate schools, and alumnae to empower Sweet Briar College students to reach their goals and dreams.
