Arts & Sciences

Because U.Va. Arts & Sciences students embrace a breadth of interests and knowledge, they find it critical to focus time and effort on exploring and clarifying career goals. Then students are able to make full utilization of the top employers in finance, government, media, and science that seek College students because their studies in history, foreign cultures, art, and philosophy not only broaden knowledge, but help to make sense of our own world. Savvy employers recognize that decisions are based on interconnected ideas and creative answers require recognizing the connections across ideas, nations, centuries, and disciplines. Figures at University Career Services bear this out as organizations seeking interns and hires routinely request resumes from all CLAS majors.
