Nexus Center for Applied Learning & Career Development

The Nexus Center helps students connect to opportunities, including jobs (part-time, full-time, summer, post-grad) and Applied Learning experiences, such as internships for academic credit. By integrating Applied Learning and Career Development, students hone their skills, enhance professional networks, and become stronger candidates for employment.

APPLIED LEARNING GRADUATION REQUIREMENT
Applied Learning involves applying classroom knowledge and skills in practical hands-on environments, including internships, clinical placements, practicums, community service, undergraduate research, and study abroad.

All students entering FSC will be required to fulfill the Applied Learning Graduation Requirement. This means that they will be expected to earn passing grades in designated Applied Learning full or enhanced courses satisfying the requirement OR successfully complete a minimum of ten hours of pre-approved Applied Learning co-curricular activities.

CAREER DEVELOPMENT services include career and applied learning counseling, resume and cover letter review, workshops, career assessments, and recruiting events (such as job fairs). Meeting with a Nexus Center Counselor early during college is an excellent way to integrate your academic choices with exploring and realizing career goals.
