Choosing a School

The process of selecting a graduate or professional school, while more complex than selecting your undergraduate institution, involves many of the same factors:

• Quality
• Location
• Cost and availability of aid
• Your chances for admission

Your faculty advisor is going to be a key source in providing you information about selecting a school. You can find some very helpful information in Peterson's Graduate and Professional Study. This site will allow you to identify programs by institution, location, academic area, and professional degree. Another excellent site is U.S. News and World Report's America's Best Graduate Schools. Two additional excellent sources are gradschools.com (www.gradschools.com) and gradschool.about.com (http://gradschool.about.com)
