All students are highly encouraged to complete at least one internship or related opportunity before graduating.

The Career Center strives to support all Mount students and alumni through the transition from academic learning to their lives as productive, responsible citizens. The Career Center also hosts and permits numerous employer-led events and workshops throughout the semester designed to enhance career skills and increase success in obtaining career outcomes.
