Career Services & Financial Aid

The Office of Career Design is here to help you take your passion and turn it into a sustainable career.

We help students discover and prepare for their career path by connecting you with opportunities to build connections and gain real-world experience working with clients.

Resources offered by the Office of Career Design include workshops, one-on-one career advising, and networking events where you can connect with alumni and members of Portland’s creative community. Our deep ties to the local arts scene has led to partnerships with artists, designers, curators, gallery owners, and business leaders who offer our students unique learning opportunities.
