Professional Development Timeline

The Graduate Council of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences has developed a chart that suggests a rough chronology for how a graduate student could use the professional development services of Arts & Sciences during the various stages of his or her academic progress.  You may download this chart (Microsoft Word or pdf format) below: Keep in mind that details of the sequence suggested by this timeline will vary by discipline, and that there is no one sequence that works best for everyone.  Graduate students are encouraged to review specific timelines and program requirements with the graduate advisor in their departments.
