Prepare for the Real World.
Sometimes, we talk about class, but often, we talk about careers or just life in general. That's where some of the best learning really happens.

Build Your Resume and Portfolio
Experiential learning can give you an edge.
Ten applicants bring a resume to an interview. One also brings a portfolio. Who gets the job? You. At NSU, you’ll have the opportunity to create a marketable portfolio based on real work experience and course projects that show off your credentials—and your character.
Your professors and advisers can connect you with a variety of opportunities to build your portfolio. They may invite you to assist with their research, help you find an internship, share a service-learning event or even help you network.
This is your time to explore new career paths. Find what you like about a career or discover a deal-breaker early on. Network with people who could be career connections in a few years. Get a head start on your peers and prepare to dominate your future.
I love going to career services. Their resume and interview advice helped prepare me for the real world.
