The Classroom - Class of 2026: Coach Wooden's Pyramid Playbook

You Don’t Just Graduate from UCLA — You Inherit It
This is not a typical career course — this is a standard.
At UCLA, more than 145,000 students applied for admission. Fewer than 10% were selected. This course reminds our graduates what that means — and challenges them to live up to it.

This 10-week experience prepares graduating seniors to transition from the classroom to the workplace with clarity, discipline and confidence. Grounded in the philosophy of Coach John Wooden and his Pyramid of Success, students learn not only how to secure a job, but how to build a meaningful and enduring career.

Dates: July 7 - Sept. 8
  • Classes take place on Zoom; 60 minutes | 12 p.m. - 1 p.m. PST

Curriculum
  • July 7: Define Success and Establish Identity
  • July 14: Build Résumé and Cover Letter With Clarity and Impact
