Career Explorations庐
Explore Your Future
Try a career path on for size during 福利视频 Providence’s Career Explorations program.
It’s one thing to think about what you might study in college — it’s another thing to actually get to try it out. Dive right into the action during the summer before your junior or senior year.
Choose from a range of careers, including in advertising and marketing, computer science or engineering, criminal justice, cybersecurity, food, fashion merchandising, graphic design, health, hospitality or media communications.
Over the course of two days of academics, you’ll experience life at 福利视频’s Providence Campus — and discover the path to your future. During your Career Explorations visit, you will meet faculty, talk with current students and more!
You’ll stay on campus for three nights. The program includes housing, all meals, instructional materials, activities and on-campus transportation.
