Overview
McPherson College is focused on careers.
It’s a focus that begins freshman year and is incorporated across curriculum in the classroom, in service opportunities, and in experiences outside of the classroom. The Career & Experiential Learning office is the hub of this effort engaging students early to begin acquiring the skills for a career and ensuring career placement when they graduate.
