Career Opportunities

If a career right after college is your goal, then Champlain offers a great formula for success -- get the experience that employers want as part of your degree. By identifying your career clusters early, you may have up to six credits (two courses) of Business studies that can be taken as internships!

Whether you decide to use your new skills immediately in the job market or in graduate studies, you’ll have the long-term career mobility that comes from a well-rounded business education. Your firm grasp of entry-level skills in two areas of your choice will help jump-start your career!

“I can’t say enough about the quality of Champlain’s business program. The courses are terrific and really focused on the hot topics in business today, which I apply at work everyday. Plus, lots of case studies and real-life examples of business issues, literally right out of the newspaper, offer concrete examples of actual issues happening today. The faculty is amazing, and I gained a solid foundation to step into the HR field. In fact, I was fortunate to get a full-time job in the field right away.” - Chad Bouvier, HR Coordinator, Spherion (recruitment firm)

"I graduated from Champain in May of 2003 with a BS in Business. Shortly after graduation and completion of my senior internship, I was hired on full time at Burton Snowboards in the finance department. Utilizing the opportunities that the business program offers has given me the confidence and skills to pursue my career, however I may shape it. The faculty has also made a real impact by teaching me not only the business foundations, but also things I have already encountered on a daily basis." - Tera Bundgaard '03, Inventory Analysis, Burton Snowboards
