Professional Development
Managed by The Writing Center, The Professional Development Program offers a range of courses designed to help students at the Graduate Center in their careers and professional activities. While topics vary, each class shares the common purpose of providing a low-stakes, low-workload space in which students can gain relevant practical experience alongside knowledgeable faculty and a community of peers. These courses do not carry credit, are ungraded, and do not appear on the student’s transcript.
Students register for these courses as they do their academic classes: log into CUNYFirst; go to Student Center and select “Search,” which takes you to the “Search for Classes” page. Select the institution (Graduate Center), the term, and enter the course number (listed below). Because these courses are zero-credit, Level 3 students are eligible to enroll.
