The Center for Professional Development (CPD) is an office of attorneys with over fifteen years of collective practical experience that assists students in making informed career decisions. The Center prepares students to enter the profession by showcasing employment opportunities and programs that equip students to succeed in a professional environment and foster growth in integrity, service, leadership and professional conduct. In addition to daily counseling and planning, the Staff meets annually with each of the College's 300+ students to develop, update and finalize each student's professional plan. This process allows the student to articulate post-graduate objectives and outline steps by which to achieve them, thereby laying a solid foundation for success consistent with each student's personal values.

The Center also manages activities that promote skill enhancement such as the Legal Externship Program whereby students work in government offices, public interest organizations and non-profit offices in exchange for academic credit. Similarly, the Center administers the Volunteer Opportunity Program through which students receive transcript recognition for each semester in which students perform fifteen or more hours of volunteer legal work.
