Career Services

Each student in SCI has access to a dedicated Career Consultant through Pitt’s Career Center. They can provide expertise and guidance regarding any of the topics listed above in either a scheduled appointment or during their drop-ins or office hours.

Experiential Learning

SCI provides several different ways you can get involved in activities outside of the classroom. Check out the experiential learning page here to learn more.
