Welcome to Brandeis International Business School! Whether on campus or communicating over a distance, the Career Strategies and Engagement Center (CSE) partners with our students around the globe throughout the year. The CSE is your primary career strategy source while at Brandeis International Business School, and we look forward to getting to know you during Orientation and beyond.  

Career activities begin long before Orientation, positioning you for the early career readiness that employers expect from business school students. Recruiting cycles for some internships and full time jobs may be as early as a year ahead of the position start date, particularly for large financial or management consulting firms such as Goldman Sachs, BlackRock and McKinsey.

Please read all correspondence from “Career Strategies and Engagement (CSE)” carefully and promptly as this information will be essential for your participation in CSE and recruiting activities.
