The Center for Graduate Career and Professional Development supports New School for Social Research master’s and doctoral students as well as alumni as they explore, prepare for, and choose meaningful careers.

Responsive, caring, and personal, we uphold The New School’s commitment to social justice by connecting students and employers who aim to tackle today’s most pressing social issues. We pair students with advisors who have area-specific knowledge to aid their career advancement or to help them transition to a new field.

Around the world, our alumni are engaged in and leading meaningful work in academic institutions, nonprofits, think tanks, all levels of government, international organizations, banking, and for-profit enterprises.
