ACADEMIC RESOURCES

Part of being a successful college student is learning how to take advantage of all the academic resources here on campus. The Academic Resource Services at UCSD will help you find strategies to work more efficiently and effectively, explore career paths, and combine what you learn in class with your future career.

Academic Internship Program

AIP connects students with opportunities to explore careers, engage with communities, and enrich their education through experiential learning. The Academic Internship Program allows students to integrate academic theory into real world practice, engage in research that explores the relationship between the two, and gain hands-on experience in professional settings.

Digital Media Lab

Geisel Library’s DML provides a space for media creation and editing open to all UCSD faculty, staff, and students. There are options for video editing (Adobe Premiere), image manipulation (Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects), sound editing (Audacity), 3D modeling (Blender, Solidworks), photogrammetry (Agisoft Pro), and basic productivity (MS Office, web browsers, Adobe Acrobat Pro). The DML is completely self-service and you can make reservations on their website.

Career Center

The Career Center is a resource for UCSD students to consult if you have questions about topics such as long term career plans, plans after college, advice about finding jobs and internships, or resume and cover letter help. It also has books and resources such as test prep books, Grad school books, etc. If you need help starting to think about your career, haven’t written a resume or cover letter yet and need guidance, or want to take personality quizzes to find out what interests you, the Career Center is the place to go.
