Harvard Extension School

The Mignone Center for Career Success serves Harvard Extension School (HES) admitted undergraduate and graduate degree candidates and alumni. In addition, we welcome HES Premedical Program participants in need of general career advice and support. Please note: we do not offer HES candidates or alumni fellowship or premedical services. HES candidates interested in premed advising should connect with HES Premedical Program Office after speaking with their academic adviser.

All Harvard Extension School current students can view information about Career and Academic Resource Center (CARC) services on the Extension School Career Services page.

We offer a wide range of services tailored to the needs of adult learners at all stages of their careers, including those seeking to make a career change or move within their current company or field. To make the most of our career resources, we recommend that you set up a Crimson Careers account. Through Crimson Careers, you can search 24/7 for hundreds of jobs/internships and schedule phone or Zoom career advising appointments with Shoshana Mavor and Amanda Peters.
