Graduate School

Considering graduate school?  In addition to our graduate school advisory committees, advisors at the Career Advancement Center can help you narrow down options and prepare your applications. 

Guidelines and Timelines

See petersons.com which provide a variety of information about applying, taking tests, personal statements and everything you need to know about the process.

Researching Graduate Schools
  • Research by program or state at petersons.com or gradschools.com.
  • Talk to your Faculty Advisor or Co-curricular Advisor.  Motivated students can take advantage of several accelerated dual-degree programs in which students study at the College for three years and then go on to a graduate program with one of our partnering institutions.
  • Connect with people who have been in a program to give you a unique perspective.  Call your prospective program and ask if you can have an Informational Interview with a student.
