Researching Programs

Commitment to a master's degree or a doctoral program is a major decision. To be confident in your choice of a program you will want to investigate your options in relation to personal, academic and professional factors. Among the most important factors to keep in mind as you research programs are:

  • Program focus and areas of specialty
  • Length of the program
  • Costs and available financial assistance
  • Program's contributions to your field
  • Reputation of program and faculty - internationally, nationally and locally
  • Research facilities
  • Opportunities for teaching, research or field experiences
  • Student/faculty ratios
  • Professional opportunities after graduation
