Career Courses
We offer synchronous and asynchronous courses to help you explore internships, career pathways, and graduate school options.
Online Internship Practice & Reflection Course (Gen St 350)
Set measurable goals and develop a plan to achieve them; identify how their internship relates to their academic courses and major (if applicable); communicate in a workplace environment in a clear and confident manner; evaluate their own performance, accept feedback from others, and embark upon change based on internal and external feedback; articulate their experience and skills to potential employers; identify and articulate next steps in their career trajectory; communicate effectively in an online environment, with an emphasis on coherent, concise, and respectful dialogue
Career Exploration & Planning Course (Gen St 210)
This course will help students talk about their strengths and connect academic goals with potential career pathways. Students will identify their professional and academic skills and interests through assigned readings, reflections, and in-class activities. The course may include lectures, seminar-style discussion, guest speakers, small group work, and individual coaching and feedback.
Applying to Health Professional School (asynchronous)
This asynchronous content is designed for UW students and alumni who are planning to apply to graduate health professional programs. By going through each module, you will gain an understanding of the application components, reflect on your experiences and skills through your writing, and learn how to navigate the logistics of applying – from asking for letters of recommendation to acing your interviews!
Preparing for Graduate Education (GRDSCH 200)
Engages students in determining the right “fit” for their individual graduate education goals through three primary objectives: investigation (what is your desire to attend graduate school?), revelation (what do graduate school admission committees actually expect?), and preparation (how does investigation and revelation lead to finding a “good fit,” and how do you chart a course of action?).
