Getting You Ready for Your Career

We work with our students from their first semester all the way through graduation to help them discern and prepare for their future professional career. Through our Washington, D.C. location, a committed faculty and staff community, alumni and partners, dedicated resources and more, we help you chart the path ahead. 

Career Development Curriculum

Our School incorporates a 4-course sequence for students (known as our "Career Discernment Program") that fosters the self-reflection, knowledge, skills, and practice to better understand your career goals and obtain meaningful work.
