A graduate degree can determine the level of responsibility you may be given by your employer and influence your salary. Ask yourself if you need a graduate degree to enter your chosen profession. If you don't know, then you should research that information using resources available in the Career Planning Office. First you must decide the type of degree you are seeking. You can then identify resources in the Career Planning Office that have descriptive information about graduate programs.
Some students are concerned about the academic reputation of the school.
The university's reputation is based on research facilities, the prestige of the faculty, and the graduates. The usual graduate school application includes an application which must be completed with accuracy and clarity. Most often a fee is required. Some institutions may waive the fee if you can demonstrate financial need. The grade point average is one indicator of academic success.
