Rose-Hulman is a stepping stone to a fantastic career

What kind of a career will you be prepared for after a Rose-Hulman education? The simple answer is this: an excellent one. There are countless careers for engineering, science and mathematics professionals in education, government and industry. Here are just a few examples:

One reason a Rose-Hulman education makes you so marketable is because you learn teamwork and problem-solving no matter what your major. In addition, we start preparing our students for careers during their freshman year. You formulate their résumé, learn interviewing skills and hear alumni presentations during their first semester and there are additional workshops throughout their four years. By the time you're a senior, interacting with potential employers is second nature.

But it's not just workshops that prepare our graduates so well. You are also expected - by Rose-Hulman and industry - to do an internship or co-op while you're in school.

Our Career Services Office is here to provide students with all the resources you need to get connected with employers for internships, co-ops and post-graduation jobs. Find out more here.
