Graduate Studies

There are several reasons why people apply for graduate or professional education.

• To advance your career by gaining expertise in a particular area
• To do research that may satisfy a career goal
• Your chosen career may REQUIRE specialized training
• Because you enjoy learning and it would provide personal satisfaction

If you want to talk with someone about your motivations, what could you do?

• Visit with a career counselor in the Career Center
• Speak with alumni currently working in your career area. One way to source alumni is to use the Career Contact and Alumni Network (C.C.A.N.)
• Speak with faculty or staff members in your area of interest.
