I would also be interested. We don't have such a class but have discussed it. We encourage students to seek advice from faculty and attend various seminars given on such topics by admissions and our university's Career/Planning Placement Office. In addition, the Psych department holds an annual Career/Grad school preparation seminar every Fall (this week actually). We have alumni talk, guest speakers, and faculty present info on their areas or careers. We provide handouts on careers, what our graduates do, etc. I typically coordinate and emcee, and try to leave time for student questions at the end. It is usually well attended and students appreciate it, but it is not required and does require student initiative. Take stock of what/where your students go after graduation?! G.L.
