Is Graduate School the Right Next Step?
Graduate school can open doors to advanced career pathways and specialized professional roles. Before applying, students should reflect on key questions such as:
- Do I need an advanced degree to enter or advance in my chosen field?
- How does graduate study align with my long-term career and lifestyle goals?
- Will a degree provide a competitive advantage, or would work experience be more valuable?
- Am I prepared for the academic, financial, and time commitments involved?
Career Connections can help you evaluate these questions and determine whether graduate study fits your personal and professional goals.
