Remote Intern / Peer Mentor – Another Degree 
​

AnotherDegree.com is a newly launched platform offering expert mentorship, program development, and learning resources to support diverse learners seeking advanced degrees (JDs, MDs, MBAs, MAs, MSs, PhDs, and more).

​

Founded by a former UCLA and University of Washington faculty member and academic program director, our mentorship collective includes professors, CEOs, lawyers, medical doctors, best‑selling authors, and entrepreneurs, along with curriculum designers and educational technologists.

​

We are currently offering a small number of remote Intern and Peer Mentor opportunities for current students. While this is an unpaid internship, the selected individuals will be eligible for revenue sharing on learning materials created, social media content, and referral codes. Interns are also eligible for free graduate school consulting sessions from our mentors. This internship does not guarantee future employment with Another Degree.

The timeframe and weekly hours are flexible, with an expected commitment of 5–10 hours per week, adjusted to meet your school’s requirements.


What You’ll Do 

Rather than a fixed list of duties, interns will pitch a project idea aligned with their academic and career interests and Another Degree’s growth strategy. Possible areas include:

  • Curriculum & resource development

  • Policy shifts in postgraduate education

  • International higher education

  • Application and admissions trends 

  • User experience research

  • Social media strategy & content creation

  • Branding & outreach 

  • Market research & institutional partnerships

  • Learning community moderation & engagement


Training & Mentorship Provided 

Interns will work directly with the Founder/Director and gain hands‑on training in:

  • Social science and business‑relevant research and assessment 

  • Navigating mission‑driven start‑ups in for‑profit and non‑profit spaces

  • Developments in higher education, EdTech, experiential learning, and curriculum design

  • Presenting research and proposals


Preferred Qualifications

  • Interest in higher education, EdTech, mentorship, business, marketing, or social impact

  • Strong communication skills and research aptitude 

  • Ability to work independently and adapt creative visions to achievable milestones

  • Commitment to access and inclusion in higher education

This opportunity is ideal for current undergraduate students interested in pursuing advanced degrees. You will have the chance to co‑create resources and shape the development of a mission‑driven startup from the ground up.

Graduate & Professional School Admissions Consulting | Research Coaching

Freelance | Remote | $60 per one-hour advising session (USD)

​​

Founded by a former UCLA faculty member and administrator, Another Degree is an independent mentorship collective specializing in graduate and professional school admissions guidance and preparation, research coaching, and academic career support. We work with individuals and institutions across disciplines. We invite experienced educators to join our curated mentor network.

​

About the Role

Mentors provide one-on-one virtual advising to clients preparing for graduate and professional school. Depending on your background, you may also support clients as a research/dissertation coach or academic editor.

This is not a sales role. We’re selectively looking for mentors who support our mission to build genuine trust and offer honest, informed, and encouraging guidance. We value experienced, empathetic education professionals who will help clients pursue ambitious goals while providing clear feedback, strategic scaffolding, and actionable next steps.

​

Mentors may also contribute to training materials for incoming junior mentors, write blog content, assist with curriculum development for institutional partners, or lead virtual workshops or lectures on topics related to graduate admissions, research design, and academic success.

​

These roles are fully remote, there are no minimum hours or quotas and can be scheduled around your availability. As a newly launched company, we welcome candidates seeking a casual or part-time role, with potential for expanded hours as our operations grow.

​​

Mentors are paid $60 (USD) for each one hour advising session. Additional compensation is available for approved content development, teaching, and curriculum development projects.
