Secure Your Next Job

Boston University offers many opportunities for academic and career help around campus. With these services, students can speak with supervisors about career interests and even get help with building a professional resume.

Yawkey Center for Student Services

This center, located on Bay State Road, is responsible for CAS students’ activities. Around 20 staff members work closely with students and employers to ensure that students know of the variety of work opportunities available post-college.

College of Communication Advising

COM offers students one-on-one advising. Each student is assigned an advisor, and they can make an appointment with them through the COM Undergraduate Affairs Office (COM, room 123). Advisors make sure students fulfill their requirements for graduation, COM foundation requirements and the CAS focus. Students can also schedule meetings through phone call or walk-in appointments to meet with an advisor to review their resumes. COM has its own resume format, so students can simply follow the template online and create their resumes. They can then bring them to the office to let a resume specialist have a look.

CAS Academic Advising

The staff at CAS Academic Advising provides individual advising and necessary programs that not only serve BU students’ needs but also support the growth and development of the students. It provides walk-in hours available to any CAS student from 1 to 4 p.m. on weekdays.

Center for Career Development (CCD)

The CCD holds one-on-one appointments, during which students can meet with an advisor and go through the student’s resume. Also, the CCD’s website provides interview help, resume writing guides, industry research aides and job seeking tools to help students who cannot meet in person.

Questrom School of Business (UDC)

The Undergraduate Academic & Career Development Center (UDC) is a primary source of academic advising for Questrom undergraduates. There are seven professional academic advisors, offering a wide range of academic support including course planning, degree requirements, concentration choices, and study abroad options and more. Career advisors assist students on a walk-in basis on weekdays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. on Wednesdays.
