Graduate Studies Day Events
Join the College of Arts and Sciences for an exploration of graduate school. Graduate Studies Day gives prospective students an opportunity to meet with faculty, current students, and graduate admissions staff to learn more about our graduate programs and what it's like to be a student in the College. Individuals meet with faculty in their prospective department to learn about the program they're interested in and get a clear understanding of the degree requirements. A complimentary meal will be served followed by presentations covering merit awards, financial aid, and opportunities offered within the College.
The next Graduate Studies Day event is on Friday, March 23, 2012 from 10:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m. Please RSVP by March 21.
