Jobs, internships, graduate school, professional school . . . for a University of Michigan undergraduate, the possibilities are endless. A Michigan degree opens many doors, and for graduating students, the options may be overwhelming. U-M has multiple resources to help them navigate the next steps in their career.

Career Advising

Trained advisors can help students navigate the decision-making process. The University Career Center is the main source for students in all U-M schools and colleges seeking career guidance and information. It provides career counseling and advising, career information, pre-professional services, graduate school information, job and internship information, and educational programs, workshops, and classes.

In addition to the University Career Center, some schools and colleges provide career offices or services specific to students in those areas of study.

Students in these schools/colleges should use both the University Career Center and their school/college career office for guidance in their next steps. Students can also consult with academic advisors and faculty as they consider their career options.

Michigan's Alumni Network

Of course, one of the biggest advantages to a Michigan degree is the alumni network that it brings. With over 654,000 living alumni, Michigan grads will have no trouble finding connections in their intended field. The Alumni Association offers many programs designed to connect undergraduates to the powerful Michigan alumni network, including face-to-face and virtual meetings with business leaders, entrepreneurs, experts and professionals in a wide array of career fields.
