This ten-week course is for juniors and seniors who know they want to pursue, or are considering the possibility of, graduate education. Learn from graduate students and staff involved in graduate admissions about how to find a program that fits your interests and how to prepare effective application materials.

This course will offer students an overview of the many kinds of graduate programs available, and an insightful look into the application and review process. We will also work towards determining the right “fit” for your individual goals through three primary objectives:

• Investigation: Why are you interested in graduate school? What do you need to know before committing to a program?
• Revelation: What do graduate school admission committees actually expect?
• Preparation: After finding a ”good fit,” how do you chart a course of action? Why, when, and  where do you want to go? What are you hoping to do and how will it be useful after graduate school?
