Students

There are several possibilities for work on campus whether you are a first-year student, an international student, or a student who has been here a few years. For many students, working is an integral part of their Bowdoin experience. On-campus jobs provide vital experience, enduring connections, and opportunities for growth.

All students are eligible for on-campus employment regardless of their financial aid status, and approximately 65 percent of students choose to work while at Bowdoin.
