Tips From Your Advisor

Get involved!  Student clubs are a great way to meet other students, expand your industry knowledge, and network.  Check out student clubs and organizations on ProfLink and on the Psychology department website.

Did you know that there are Subject Librarians and Research Guides from the Campbell Library that are specific to your major?  Check them out here:  https://www.lib.rowan.edu/campbell/services/librarians 

Interested in an internship? While it’s not required for your major, an internship can be a great way to gain experience and try out different career paths. Search for internships, part-time, and full-time jobs in the Communications field on Profs Jobs or through the Office of Career Advancement’s Career Fair Calendar.

If you are considering graduate school, check out the Rowan Master’s Degree catalog.   We recommend attending a virtual Information Session to learn more about graduate school.
