Finding a research supervisor
 
Graduate students in research-intensive programs (i.e., one that requires a thesis) will often need a faculty supervisor.
We strongly encourage you check with your graduate program of interest to see if a supervisor is needed, and to find a supervisor at the time of application if necessary. This will increase your chances at admission, and allow for a better and more productive graduate student experience.
