The Office is responsible for adding another layer to the undergraduate experience, one that encourages campus and community partnerships that can foster students’ success after graduation.

Companies interact with students through four main programs:

• Campuswide Honors Collegium – Cohort represents the top 5% of undergraduates
• Undergraduate Research Opportunities – Over 1200 students annually participate in research across the arts, humanities, social studies, technology, and sciences
• ANTrepreneur Center – Encourages out-of-the-box thinking
• Student Success Initiatives – Connects students with the resources and support necessary to thrive

Examples of involvement are listed below along with an estimated time commitment.

• 60-90 minutes: Tech/Industry Talk, Classroom Guest Lecture
• 90 minutes to 2 hours: Networking Event
• 90 minutes to 2 hours: Office Hours – open time for students to ask questions or discuss career trajectories, business etiquette, etc.

• 20 minutes per student: Online review and feedback of a recorded mock interview
• 20-40 hours over 1-2 weeks: Micro-internship/externship

Fill out the form and let the UCI Division of Career Pathways (DCP) know how they can connect you to the UCI community, such as through assisting with recruitment efforts, classroom outreach, and other engagement events.

The Job Shadow Program is an unpaid student experience during spring break—hosts simply provide time and insight. Organizations can host for multiple days and employees from different functions can participate. This is a great opportunity to connect with UCI students, spread branding and awareness of your organization and introduce students to your industry and job function.

If you are interested in being a host for the Annual Job Shadow Program, please email [email protected] and we will send you an invite as the program date approaches.

ICS is among the Top 30 best computer science programs in the world and also among the most diverse computing programs in the nation — with nearly 30% female students and 50% who are first-generation college graduates or members of underrepresented minority groups.

The majority of students, particularly in the Masters professional programs where an internship is often required, participate in an internship program. At the undergraduate level, many students utilize the capstone student design program as a platform for an internship, giving employers a 10- to 20- week project cycle to vet candidates.

• Internships, especially through the 10- to 20- week capstone projects that take place throughout the year.
• Co-Ops: ICS is glad to partner on company-identified research project collaborations with graduate students and/or faculty based locally or at a company location.
• Student Projects/Capstone with Employers: ICS capstone programs span eight different courses and programs, ranging from undergraduate data science to a master’s in software engineering. ICS will gladly customize projects and student groups according to your company’s specific project need(s). In many cases, capstone sponsor employers hire students as they’ve been able to observe their project management, problem-solving, and team collaboration skills over the project period. Working with a student team on a company project deliverable is often more valuable to an employer than a brief introduction at a recruitment fair or an hour interview.
• In-Class Panel Discussions and Presentations
• Networking Mixers
• Career Fairs
• Skill-Building Workshops
• ICS Dean’s Leadership Council: Participate on an advisory board of executive-level leaders who help advance ICS research, teaching and public service goals by strengthening the school’s ties to industry and the community.
• CODE (Career Opportunities, Development and Events): CODE is the official recruiting system for Master’s students (MCS, MSWE, and MDS) at UCI’s Donald Bren School of ICS. You can use CODE to:
  • Post, track and store job postings
  • Access and download resumes
  • Request recruiting and info session dates
  • Monitor student sign-ups for your events
  • Maintain company contact information
  • Keep an ongoing history of your recruiting activities

Founded in 1965, the Henry Samueli School of Engineering educates more than 4,600 students (3,728 undergraduates and 961 graduates) with an integrative approach that blends fundamentals, research and hands-on experience. The school’s aim is to unleash innovation, create opportunities and inspire ingenuity. The school includes six academic departments: biomedical engineering; chemical and biomolecular engineering; civil and environmental engineering; electrical engineering and computer science; materials science and engineering; and mechanical and aerospace engineering.

Over the last 5 years, the Samueli School has made significant investments into increasing its student diversity. In particular, this commitment has led to a 39% increase in the number of women and a 29% increase in the number of underrepresented minorities among its student body.

• Internships and Full-time Recruiting
• Senior Design/Capstone Projects: Groundbreaking research is a key component of the Samueli School’s mission, one the school is committed to advancing through collaboration with industry experts. Undergraduate and graduate projects generally start in the fall quarters and last between 6-9 months. Depending on department and length of project, company investment ranges from $5k-15k. The deadline to apply for a sponsored project is a week before Week 1 of each quarter.
• Corporate Partners Program: Opportunity for strategic collaboration with the Samueli School of Engineering through projects, initiatives, and other student-centric engagements. For our industry partners, the program builds brand recognition and facilitates interactions with students, faculty and staff. You will be able to form productive networking relationships to meet your recruitment needs. Moreover, companies become key, highly visible collaborators in advancing the school’s mission of developing the next generation of leaders and engineers. Corporate Partnerships range from $10,000-$50,000 depending on partnership level.
• Faculty Research Collaborations
• In-Class Presentations

The UCI School of Humanities is where future leaders, communicators, scholars, CEOs, storytellers, creatives, directors, writers, and entrepreneurs come to get their start.

In the humanities, we study human culture and accomplishments throughout time and across the world. A humanities education imparts deep knowledge of history, languages, literature, philosophy, media and the visual arts, and an understanding of the contributions of influential thinkers, writers and artists. At UCI, the humanistic perspective doesn’t end with the disciplines under the umbrella of our school; we apply humanistic perspectives to illuminate the human dimensions of all disciplines, including technology, science and medicine.

For over 20 years, Humanities Out There has promoted service learning and public engagement at UCI.

Humanities Out There (H.O.T.) supports community-focused projects through its partnerships with local arts and cultural institutions. In building bridges to local and regional publics, H.O.T. seeks to cultivate new relationships and create new conversations between academic and non-academic institutions while also fostering the intellectual, professional, and civic growth of its student participants  through undergraduate and graduate programs.

The H.O.T. Practicum gives undergraduate students the opportunity to gain valuable professional experience through a remote internship with UCI campus partners. Led by a Humanities Out There Teaching Fellow, students enrolled in Humanities 195 work collaboratively to make a significant impact to take the humanities “out there” while still being safer at home.

The Public Fellows Program provides PhD students in the Humanities with the opportunity to contribute to program development, research, and communications at local arts and cultural institutions, including the Los Angeles Review of Books, OC Parks, and the Laguna Art Museum. Public Fellows make meaningful contributions to partner organizations while exploring new career pathways outside of academia.
