Sustainable design majors are encouraged to use both academic and career advisors.

After you accept your offer of admission to join the sustainable design major, you will be contacted by an academic advisor who will help you track your degree requirements, connect you with campus resources, and support you all the way to graduation. This degree program has dedicated advisors to assist you.

Feel free to contact FAA Career Services to learn more about workshops this semester, view internship and job search resources, and receive individualized support. The Career Center at Illinois also offers résumé and cover letter resources, interview prep, and a variety of career-readiness and skill-building opportunities.
