On-Campus vs. Off-Campus

On Campus
Working on-campus provides students with a flexible work schedule at a competitive hourly wage. Most departments hire for help during regular business hours (Monday through Friday, 8:30 am to 5:00 pm.) Weekend and evening work is also available in a variety of departments, such as Student Life, Campus Recreation Services, and Athletics.

Off Campus
Working off-campus allows students to experience a variety of work settings in an array of career fields. Wages are competitive and employers are able to offer flexible schedules ranging from early morning hours to late evenings. Students are also able to work on the weekends.

The Career Center strives to provide the best possible opportunities for students.
