Career Support

All University of Maryland students have access to Handshake, an online career management platform, via the University Career Center (UCC). Within Handshake students can create a profile, follow companies, search through industry guides, and access interview practice software.

UCC also hosts virtual events throughout the semester, including Career Fairs, Career Panels, and Industry Meet-Ups. Students can sign up for the UCC’s newsletter to receive updates on events and other career resources.

Smith School online business master’s students may direct career resource questions to the University Career Center at 301-314-7225 or ucc-studenthelp@umd.edu. Professors and program Academic Directors can also be contacted about industry trends and career outcomes for each business master’s online degree program.
