Our Courses
Gateway to Graduate School
At GradTLC, we help graduate students learn and thrive. This Summer, 2024, we are offering two new online courses to prepare incoming PhD, Professional, and MA students for grad school. Through synchronous and asynchronous components, we’ll provide a high-touch and engaging experience to set your students up to thrive, learn, and connect. ​

Offering high-touch, community-building courses
Structure
The courses will be asynchronous, with multiple modules, as well as interactive opportunities to reflect and engage. Each module courses will be accompanied by a one-hour live, facilitated meeting of groups of up to five students. This synchronous component sets us apart from other technological solutions, allowing students to establish relationships that can extend far beyond orientation and well into their programs.
Time Commitment
We expect students will spend approximately 2-3 hours/module for the course, plus additional time for the course’s live meetings (for a total of ~15 hours for either course). The modules can be spaced out in whatever way works best for your institution: from one module per week to one per day.
*Note:
Because this is a pilot, our price is flexible and negotiable, and we invite initial partner institutions to help us grow and develop our programs by taking part in assessments throughout the courses.
Please let us know if you have questions–we are happy to speak with you about the programs we envision and how we can help you support your students. We look forward to learning together as we launch!
