Graduation & beyond
CBS Commencement
Saturday, May 16
7:30 p.m.
Northrop Auditorium
CBS encourages you to start thinking about your educational plan early so you can graduate in four years. As a CBS student, you have access to academic advisers and faculty mentors who can confirm you are completing your academic requirements and taking the steps you need to be prepared for life after graduation. Whether you’re planning to attend graduate school, obtain a full-time job in the profession of your choice, or pursue a career in a health field, it's important to talk with CBS faculty and advisers about your progress towards completing your degree and the opportunities available to you outside of the classroom.
