Graduate School Planning
Career advisers offer one-on-one advising to students relative to
identifying and applying to graduate or professional schools matching
their career path through various resources. In addition, information
detailing reasons for applying to graduate school as well as
requirements for master’s and doctoral degrees, prep tests, letters of
recommendation and graduate school fairs can be obtained to help
guide students in this decision-making process. Students are
connected with graduate and professional schools through referrals,
events, publications, information technology and on-campus
interviews.
College Opportunity to Prepare for Employment (COPE)
Program
212.237.8018 or 212.237.8017
The COPE Program is funded by and operated in collaboration with
the Family Independence Administration (FIA) of the City of New
York Human Resources Administration (HRA). Services are
available to anyone who is a current or former CUNY student
applicant and receives public assistance cash benefits (Temporary
Assistance to Needy Families, Safety Net Family Assistance, Safety
Net Single Assistance), or meets federal income guidelines for
families with income under 200 percent of the federal poverty level.
COPE's mission is to aid these students to successfully navigate
through college and obtain gainful employment leading to economic
self-sufficiency.
In accordance with this mission, COPE offers comprehensive
services to program participants. COPE also assists all students,
whether or not they are on public assistance, with issues related to the
Agency for Child Development (ACD), food stamps, housing and
other social service concerns. In this endeavor, COPE aids students
in completing forms for ACD, food stamps and housing. Realizing
the difficulty and stress that is related to successfully meeting HRA
requirements while remaining in satisfactory academic standing,
managing or searching for employment and often running a
household, trained COPE staff members are available to assist
students with all of these challenges.
