Employer
evaluations said the St. Kate's students were well
prepared and represented themselves professionally. Students whose majors include the liberal arts, healthcare, business and social sciences talked to
employers about jobs in accounting, customer service, sales, nursing, social
work, claims, occupational therapy, physical therapy and more.
