Olivet typically ranks in the top 3 in the highest overall passing score among Illinois universities.
Internships
Freshman and sophomore students attend specially designed seminars to advance their career through resume writing, developing interviewing skills, networking and managing their online presence. All of the career management activities are designed for students to discover their strengths to help them attain internships during their junior and senior years.
