FDU helped Alexa discover business roles in healthcare

Unsure of what career to pursue in college, Alexa’s professors bridged the gap between classroom lessons and real job opportunities. Meanwhile, FDU’s career advising programs showed her that the healthcare industry needs more than just doctors and nurses.

Hi, my name's Alexa. I'm currently a talent acquisition specialist at a pharmaceutical company.

I would describe my experience at FDU as accomplished, meaningful, and transformative.

When I came to FDU, I was business undecided, and throughout all of my classes, I was able to identify what I was really most interested in.

The 4+1 program at FDU was a huge selling point for me. I always knew that I wanted to do an accelerated master's program, and through FDU, I was able to.

FDU helped prepare me for the job market by being able to connect what I was learning in the classroom to real-world experiences early on.

It was at an FDU career fair where I met my current employer. Because of that, I am where I am today.

If you're interested in healthcare, FDU is in a great location, being so close to so many pharmaceutical and healthcare companies.

FDU showed me that you don't have to be a doctor to work in healthcare. Working on the business side, I'm still able to work with a purpose.

I'm Alexa, and FDU changed my world.
