On-Campus Interviews

About On-Campus Interviews (OCI)

The On-Campus Interview Program (OCI) invites employers to campus to interview graduating students for full-time career positions. Employer participants include business, industry, non-profit organizations and government agencies. Positions are generally entry-level in nature and encompass a broad range of functional areas, including, but not limited to: finance, marketing, management, sales, operations, social service, technology, engineering and laboratories.

Eligibility

Undergraduate and graduate students from all academic departments graduating this academic year in December, March or June are eligible. Each employer determines specific qualifications and application process. Occasionally, some internship opportunities exist for students not yet ready to graduate.

Types of Interview Schedules

Open schedules are first-come, first-served. Eligible students who meet the employer's requirements submit an on-line resume and sign up for a specific time slot.
Preselect schedules allow all students that meets the employer's requirements to submit an on-line resume. The employer will review the submitted resumes and "preselect" those students who will be invited for an interview.
