Rensselaer’s extensive preparation of students to enter the next stage of their lives reaches far beyond the classroom.
The Career Development Center (CDC) is acclaimed by Rensselaer alumni for helping students take charge of and manage their futures — everything from writing a resumé and polishing job interview skills to researching career options and potential employers.
The center offers a comprehensive program of career development, co-op, internship, and job placement activities to both undergraduate and graduate students. Rensselaer students have 24-hour access to job postings and career-related resources via the Web.
