On-Campus and Alumni Services

It is our privilege to help alumni find a place of ministry.

We want the excellent training you received at Clarks Summit University to be put into use in the local church, school, para-church organization, mission field or wherever God may direct you.

Career Services

Clarks Summit University partners with Handshake, a leader in the early career planning community whose mission is to give all students the chance to build the career they want, no matter where they’re from or what school they attend. 

As an employer, you can post positions for current students and alumni. To post a position, please create an employer account. Career Services will review and approve employers who fit our student and alumni interests.

Churches seeking to post positions can post on Handshake but can also share with our seminary. To share an opportunity, please send a completed job description, person of contact and your church Statement of Faith/Doctrinal Statement or a link to where that can be found to CareerServices@ClarksSummitU.edu. Career Services will forward the information to the appropriate contacts.

Alumni can search for positions within the CSU network, and other networks available to CSU. To create an alumni account, you will be directed to use your email (you do not need a .edu email) and upon verification of your alumni status, you can create a profile. An alumni profile allows users to search for positions, as well as be recruited.

Student Career Services

We want you to choose the right career path and help you make the right choices along the way.

Student Career Services can help you familiarize yourself with your strengths and abilities. We will also plug you into an academic program that will allow you to use those skills in practical ministry.

We aim to help students achieve success in the areas of:

Being – relates to who students are in Christ now
Doing – relates to what students do in Christ next
Becoming – relates to the ongoing process of living in Christ
