Every LLM candidate at the University of San Diego School of Law meets with the academic advisor before the start of their first semester. Candidates work closely with the academic advisor to design a program that fulfills not only the degree requirements, but also the candidate's professional goals.
Before the candidate's program begins, they meet with the academic advisor for an initial advising session. The advisor continues to meet with each candidate throughout their program to assist with academic issues. The advisor also monitors academic and degree progress to ensure each candidate remains on track to earn their degree.
LLM candidates will also have access to the USD School of Law Office of Career and Professional Development (OCPD). OCPD can assist LLM students with job searches, review resumes and cover letters, provide business cards, and inform students about relevant job postings. OCPD also participates in LLM recruiting events such as NYU's International Student Interview Program (ISIP) and UCLA's LLM Interview Program.
