The question Juniors and mostly Seniors ask about this time of year is? To go or NOT to go to Grad School or should I wait? And as important is: What should I get my degree in!
For some it’s easy and you know what you want to get your degree in or it’s required. But for many it’s a real dilemma. If you don’t know what you want to get your degree in—–DON”T go to graduate school and waste time and money. Don’t go to GS until you know what you want to get the degree in. Work has a nice way of helping that process along.
A few things to consider:
-There are deadline dates. Check them out.
-Do I want a part-time or full-time program. There are benefits to both.
-How do I pay for a master’s degree. Many colleges offer assistantships to help with college tuition and fees.
-Do you have a research interest that a faculty member might have in the department
-How does size and location play in your search for a grad school
-Do I meet the requirements of the program I am interested in: GPA, test scores, letters of recommendation
