Each year about 40% of students graduating from Augustana College head directly to graduate/professional school. In Career Development & Vocation we consider graduate/professional school a stepping stone along the way to achieving an initial career goal. Whether you are considering graduate/professional school or you are certain that is your next step, we’ve provided some resources to guide you through the process.
More students are considering taking a gap year after graduation, but what exactly does that mean?
A gap year offers students time to reflect on their values, passions, and career goals. It’s a chance to gain life skills, whether through travel, volunteering, internships, or work, allowing students to enhance soft skills like communication, adaptability, and problem-solving.
At Augustana, we’ve made it easy for you to get a professional LinkedIn photo without the hassle. Simply stop by CORE Commons on weekdays between 9 AM and 4 PM, and one of our student assistants will help you take a polished picture with our LinkedIn backdrop.
