Explore Career Communities at St. John’s University
More Than Your Major: Discover Careers That Match Your Passion
What are They?
(Start Here!)
Career Communities are clusters of related industries, professions, and fields of work. Career Communities are Career Exploration, Made Easy.
Each Community connects you with resources, events and opportunities tailored to your specific goals. You can explore as many as you want based on your interests and goals.
Career Communities are not tied to academic programs because your major does not dictate your career!
