Is Graduate School For Me?

  • Is a graduate degree required for my desired career path?
  • Will a graduate degree mean an automatic pay increase in my current or intended job?
  • Will my employer pay for my degree or are there opportunities for low to free tuition?
  • What will a graduate degree do for my academic, professional, and/or personal life?

How to Apply

  • Begin exploring graduate school opportunities as early as possible to know the application requirements and prepare to meet them.
  • Have your top tier of graduate schools selected along with a couple of back-ups.

Application Requirements

Graduate schools often require materials like a curriculum vitae (CV), a personal statement, letters of recommendation, and test scores. Visit the Vocatio Center for assistance in creating a CV, and utilize your faculty advisors and mentors for letters of recommendation and as you prepare to write your personal statements.
