Career Service
The Office of Career Services is devoted to assisting students in their career planning. Corporate employers come on campus in order to interview students for summer internships, post-graduate employment, part-time employment, full-time positions and cooperative education experiences. The Office of Career Services also manages seminars created to teach students skills important for the career search process such as how to interview effectively, how to develop a resume and how to dress for success. Alumni have also access to the career planning assistance.

Financial Aid
The main goal of the Student Financial Aid Office is to offer financial aid to students who without such aid would be unable to attend college. The staff of the Financial Aid Office will provide prospective students with information concerning types of financial aid programs, how to apply for aid and all possible ways to help students and their parents to meet the cost of attending North Carolina A&T State University.
