The NYU Shanghai Center for Career Development (CCD) is dedicated to helping you navigate the career exploration process throughout your master's program. To help you stay on track for career planning, we suggest a career timeline with three phases.
Phase I: Explore Your Career
12-month graduation timeline: June 2024 - August 2024
20-month graduation timeline: June 2024 - November 2024
By participating in self-assessment, one-on-one coaching, and Career-Readiness Development Program (CRDP) events in Phase I, you will be able to explore career options, identify your career path, enhance career readiness skills, and develop industry knowledge. Your resume will be polished under the discussion with CCD staff and later shared with selected NYU employer partners.
Phase II: Develop Your Competencies
12-month graduation timeline: September 2024 - January 2025
