Care should be taken to conduct a thorough search for a program that matches your interests and needs. You should discuss your plans with your faculty advisor, who probably can help you by suggesting particular schools that may be appropriate for you. Information on these schools can be obtained by writing directly to the Admissions Office of the Universities concerned. Career planning and placement also retains information of use in planning for your graduate education. Since letters of reference from faculty are mandatory for the application process, students intending to pursue g raduate level training should work hard to develop a close working relationship with faculty in their chosen area of interest.
Financial assistance is often available to students interested in pursuing graduate work.
The latter require additional application procedures and separate deadlines, and students are urged to begin their planning for graduate work early, so as to be eligible for as many of these competitions as possible.
