Professionalization Workshop: Law, Medicine, and Philosophy

Catalog2026-2027

LevelUpper Division

Overview

Description

This course prepares students for advanced professional degrees in law, medicine, or philosophy. Students learn the elements and structures for three key dimensions of professionalism—personal statements, resumes/CVs, and interview techniques. As a workshop, it is of a practical nature: Each student will prepare versions of those materials tailored to their professional aspirations, share them for critique, and comment on others’ drafts or interviews. Ideally, students would take this course in the spring before they apply to these programs.
