Career Panels
MPS Scholars hosts several career panels during the course of the academic year. These panels bring in industry experts, leading researchers, and more to give students an idea of the potential career opportunities avliable for those who graduate with a degree in the Mathematical & Physical Sciences. Our first career panel is organized during the first weeks of the Fall semester.
MPS 101
MPS 101 is a new career seminar launching in Fall 2025. Organized by Professor William Boos in EPS, this course provides interactive career-development activities and coaching to help you transition from university life to a fulfilling and financially successful long-term career. It focuses on all types of careers that can be pursued with an MPS degree, including traditional science careers, jobs in tech and finance, and creative career paths. In weekly group meetings, you will create an individual development plan, prepare and review application materials for jobs or internships, conduct practice interviews, develop skill in speaking about technical subjects, and take part in a suite of in-person and online networking activities. This course will include visits by alumni and other external speakers from a range of career stages.
