Abstract:

A good question for every undergrad to ask themselves is:  Should I go to grad school?  The decision to pursue an advanced degree is one that should not be taken lightly.  Advanced degrees are an investment in time, but can open up career opportunities that are closed to those with B.S. degrees.  This talk will discuss some of the advantages and disadvantages of advanced degrees, as well as the process of getting an advanced degree.  It will also cover the process of applying to graduate school, how to make your application stand out, and what schools are looking for.  Finally, we’ll discuss the grad school experience.
