Career Center Programs

The University of Iowa Marvin A. and Rose Lee Pomerantz Career Center administers the University's Career Center Programs. The center helps students explore and plan careers, search for employment and internship opportunities, and prepare for interviews. Students may use the Pomerantz Career Center's services at any time during their academic careers, but the center encourages entering first-year and transfer students to visit after they arrive on campus and to make use of all of the center's services throughout their study at Iowa.

The center offers online workshops throughout the year on a variety of topics, including résumé writing, job and internship search techniques, employer research, interviewing skills, and more. It hosts several career fairs each fall and spring, offering students the opportunity to talk with and learn about prospective employers.

The Pearson Library contains career-related books, periodicals, and online resources--some broad in scope, others targeted to specific careers or jobs. Employer recruiting brochures join information on salaries, geographical cost of living, resources for jobs and internships, graduate schools, and other topics.

The Pomerantz Career Center facilitates job and internship interviewing with a wide range of employers--regional, national, and international; profit and nonprofit; state and federal government. Employers conduct on-campus interviews at specific times during the year, and many post immediate openings year-round, for internships and for full-time positions. On-campus recruiting and job postings are available on the center's web site. The center also offers career-related courses and the Career Leadership Academy.

The center helps students find internships in Iowa, the Midwest, nationwide, and sometimes in other countries. For a list of discipline-related internships (all require course registration), see "Career Center Programs Courses"/"Internships" below.
