Ensuring Your Future. Guaranteed.*

Academic performance is one of the first benchmarks employers consider. By focusing on course work—and working closely with your advisor—you can ensure that your education is a good match for the type of career field you want to enter.

• Meet with your assigned advisor at least once per each semester you are enrolled.
• Graduate with a cumulative 3.0 GPA.
• In consultation with your advisor, select elective courses that complement your personal or professional goals and/or declare an academic minor or certificate program prior to the deadline for submitting the application for graduation.
• Successfully complete the How to Get a Job and Life After College Digital Badges.
• Complete the Bachelor of Science Candidacy by the end of your junior year.

Employers are looking for people with skills in teamwork, collaboration and leadership. CASNR offers plenty of opportunities in this regard, and you are bound to find a number of options that will interest you—and potential employers.

• Participate in at least one student organization (or student governance committee).
• Become a student member of a professional society or organization related to your degree program or professional interests.
