The office strives to ease the stress and anxieties that come with transitioning out of Military Service and into both the civilian and academic world.

The University is located in the thriving MetroWest coordinator surrounded by Fortune 500 Companies, innovative startups, and a robust government and non-profit sector. FSU’s Office of Career Services and Employer Relations helps students land internships and jobs with these companies prior to graduation.
