Careers

Our students get today’s jobs and prepare for tomorrow’s careers

Technology, information, and engineering jobs are in great demand. Our students get them.

But stellar hiring rates are just the start. Our undergraduate programs, graduate programs, and career services prepare you for anything your career will hold—from succeeding in your first job to shaping the future of your field.

Who can use Luddy’s career services?

Undergraduates, master’s students, Ph.D. students, and even alumni can use our services.

You have access to Handshake and all of our career services if you are earning a major/degree, minor, or certificate in Luddy or if you have completed at least 6 credit hours of Luddy classes. Undergraduates who don’t meet these criteria can contact Luddy Career Services at luddycareers@indiana.edu to evaluate their goals and start their career planning.

Courses that help you develop your career and get experience

Learn to search for jobs and manage your career like a pro in Y395 Career Development, an eight-week, 1 credit hour course. Each undergrad major has its own version of Y395. Luddy also offers several capstone and internship courses.

I am a huge advocate for reaching out to Career Services. I can say without a doubt that the people who work there were my biggest support system.
