About Career Services
Statement of Purpose
Career Services is dedicated to educating Emerson College students and alumni about career development and helping them refine the skills needed to successfully navigate the many career paths they may travel throughout the course of their professional lives. We assist with identifying career goals and by offering applicable strategies for how to reach those goals. We connect Emersonians with employers in the specialized arts and communication fields that reflect the College’s curriculum. We strive to provide the Emerson population, both past and present, with the tools to develop their professional selves and to achieve success in their chosen fields.
Make an appointment
Contact the Career Services Front Desk at 617.824.8586 or careers@emerson.edu, and our friendly administrative staff members can make an appointment for you with any Career Advisor.
Note: Certain periods of the academic year are quite popular for appointments. We will try to schedule you as quickly as possible.
Walk-In Hours
You may stop by our walk-in hours without an appointment for a brief 15-minute consultation with a career advisor. Walk-in hours are held from 1pm to 4pm, Monday through Friday, during the fall and spring academic semesters while classes are in session.
