Going to graduate school is a tremendous investment of time, energy and financial resources. Take time to think about WHY you want to attend graduate school.

Good Reasons to Go to Graduate School:

  • An advanced degree is required for entrance into your chosen field. 
  • You are willing to complete additional coursework or gain work experience to be competitive.
  • You have researched the profession and there is a strong match between your skills, interests, values and what the program specifics.
  • You have a strong desire for advanced studies, regardless of your specific career goal.
  • You want to teach at the college level or conduct research.
  • Obtaining an advanced degree will increase your earning potential.

Consider Alternatives to Graduate School If..

  • You hope to avoid or delay your job search.
  • You are still uncertain about your career direction.
