Preparing for Graduate or Professional School

Graduate and professional degrees are for people who need professional credentials to reach their career goals. Some graduate programs can enhance employment prospects, increase salaries or chances for future advancement. However, it is important to have a reason for going to graduate school other than to put off setting career goals or to delay employment. You need to research your goals before deciding to undertake the time and expense of further study.

There are many types of graduate programs at many colleges and universities around the world. It is important to explore what the options are in a particular field and consult with people who are familiar with what you want to study.

University Career Services is available to assist students and alumni with:

  • Researching schools and programs through resources in the Career Resource Center
  • Reviewing application materials and critiquing essays and personal statements
  • Practicing for the interview process
