Career Programming

We host specialty programs and events throughout the academic year and adjust programming to align with industry trends and a shifting recruiting landscape. At many of these events, employers meet with students to promote their firm brand and showcase opportunities.

Programming includes:

  • Architecture Interview Blitz Days - our signature in-person recruiting event held in early March brings over 50 companies and students together for job and internship interviews.
  • The School of Architecture hosts Candidate Interviews to connect firms with pre-selected candidates for full time and internship positions. Interviews may be conducted virtually or in-person and are managed through the Handshake platform. 
  • Workshops and networking events are held throughout the year to foster engagement between students, alumni and employers. Past events include alumni and employer panels, meet & greet receptions and topical presentations. 
Employment Opportunities

Internship & Entry Level Positions

Syracuse University uses a centralized career services platform, Handshake, to post employment opportunities and events for students and recent graduates (0-5 years).

Note: During summers and breaks, students may choose to work in paid internships to develop professional skills and earn hours for the Architectural eXperience Program (AXP). Most states require completion of AXP and the national Architecture Registration Exam before awarding state licensure.

Experienced Positions

Job opportunities  (5+ years) are posted on LinkedIn for alumni review in the School’s Syracuse Architecture Career Services page.
