Early Exploratory Program

Unique opportunity for underclassmen who are Illinois residents and have a cumulative grade point average of 3.0.

What is it?

Students explore off-campus business and technical options related to their academic fields through a maximum of 15 hours per week paid employment.

How it’s possible.

The director of Career Services coordinates the program, which operates through a combination of state grant funds from the Illinois Cooperative Work Study Program of the Board of Education and the cooperation of participating businesses and agencies.

Fun Fact: QU student Caitlyn Berry has traveled to Italy, Spain, and England (twice!) as part of QU’s short-term Study Abroad program.
