Want to try on possible careers? Berry’s LifeWorks program lets you test the waters through hands-on professional experiences—and far earlier than you would in a traditional internship. Discoveries follow.
Culture of Mentorship
It’s a group effort. Faculty, staff, peers, coaches, and alumni provide ongoing guidance as you explore coursework, practical learning experiences, off-campus internships, study abroad opportunities, community engagement experiences and research partnerships—any of which might lead you to discover your calling (and major).
More than 80 student-run clubs and 200 campus events each year mean constant exposure to new ideas. Model UN might lead to study of international business. A walk in the woods could spur an interest in environmental science.

Undeclared LIVES
Kassie Jones came to Berry with no specific major in mind and not knowing which of her interests might lead to a career. And so she explored. While studying modern political philosophy, Kassie’s professor saw her potential and encouraged her to major in political science. Building on this interest, Kassie spent four years in Berry’s Student Government Association (serving as president in her senior year) and traveled to Morocco to present research on democracy in Pakistan. Up next: a master’s in public service and administration.
