Are you considering further education? There are lots of questions to consider whether you’ve decided to pursue grad school or if you are exploring the possibility:
-Should I go to grad school?
-How can I determine which programs to apply to?
-What types of funding could potentially help me cover the cost of graduate school?
-When should I apply for grad school?
-What are some of the components of a grad school application?

This virtual workshop will outline what to consider before exploring graduate programs and institutions, provide a general application timeline, and give you a start on preparing your application materials.
Together with a Hub Coach and your peers, you’ll develop a plan to apply for grad programs that fits your learning and career goals. Lastly, we will work together as a group to establish what makes a powerful and effective personal statement.

-Eager for insights that’ll help you determine if advanced study is a step you want to take
-Looking for guiding criteria that will help assess if a particular grad program is aligned with your goals
