So, you are about to finish your undergraduate and don't know what to do with your future. Sounds like you and I are in the same boat. You know that your field requires an advanced degree, but how do you go about picking a school or program? Its important to weigh the pros and cons before applying for graduate school. Will it further your career? Do you have the time to commit to the work load the program requires? Financially can you afford to go back to school now? There are five things that you need to look at when deciding on a school.
1.What is the reputation of the school and its graduate program?
2. Are the faculty leaders in their field who are willing to mentor you?
3. Is the location acceptable and close enough for you?
4. What is the cost of tuition?
5. What is the length of the program, and do the classes meet when you are available?
This series is going to focus on helping you better understand the application process for graduate school, and hopefully help you make your decision about if graduate school is the best option for you. Look for next weeks blog and as always come out and support the cardinal football team this Saturday for the last home game!
