BA Professional: A Career Conversation Series
BA grads work in a wide variety of diverse careers – from non-profits and government, to academia or being the CEO of their own company – yet the myth of the BA as barista persists.
To combat this fake news, we bring students real-life stories of BA grads, including where they work and how they got there.
Each episode of our BA Professional career conversation series features an HSS alumni sharing secrets and tips on how you, too, can forge your own ideal career path and find a dream job of your own.
