Career Services
Career Services is a resource to assist EKU students and alumni on their career journey. We help students explore who they are and their career options and connect their experiences to post-graduate opportunities. We can help all students with major or career exploration, co-op and internship opportunities, preparing for job searches, and networking with potential employers.
For Students
General Education
General Education Requirements
The mission of general education is to promote learning that is central to the intellectual pursuits associated with our educational programs and to enable students to make informed choices about matters of public and personal significance in a democratic society and global community.
The general education program helps students to become informed, independent thinkers by developing competencies in communication, quantitative analysis, and critical thinking by helping them understand and appreciate culture, individuals, the natural environment, and the global society. Courses that are used to satisfy the program’s Major Requirements cannot also be used to satisfy General Education requirements.
Workshops
Career Services serves as a resource within the campus community (i.e., faculty, staff, student organizations) by providing workshops related to career readiness and best practices within today’s evolving workplace. These resources promote the Council for Postsecondary Education’s (CPE) Graduate Profile Ten Essential Skills and the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) Eight Core Readiness Competencies.
Mock Interviews
Mock interviews are a great way to become familiar with common interview questions, rehearse answers, learn to manage nerves and refine your communication skills. You will receive immediate feedback and follow-up resources needed to help you be successful in an interview.
If you would like to schedule a mock interview, call our office at 859-622-2361, email us at futureready@eku.edu, or schedule online.
