What is Graduate School?
Graduate school is a chance to dive deeper into your education and take more advanced courses that go beyond what you learned in your bachelor’s degree, helping you build expertise and new opportunities.
The information and resources on this site are meant to provide a broad overview of what graduate school is, why you might want to attend, and how to get there.
Graduate school experiences vary by major and industry. After reviewing the information on this site, be sure to also discuss your graduate school plans with faculty from your specific major.
