Thus far in our grad school advisor series of blog entries, we’ve focused entirely on the GRE – what it entails, why it’s important, and how to prep efficiently for it. Today, we have a very different offering for you: Kaplan’s Grad Degree Series.
While our primary expertise is certainly helping students master the GRE, we at Kaplan are also fully committed to helping students find the graduate degree and program that will allow them to achieve their goals. To that end, our endlessly-talented Director of GRE Programs, Lee Weiss, ran several seminars recently about degrees in four different fields:
- Education
- Engineering
- Psychology
- Health Sciences
In each event, Lee paired with an expert in the given field to get the inside scoop on topics that include: Why the expert chose the path that he’s on, what he’s done with his degree, and what he’s learned in the process
- How to handle the ins and outs of admissions
- How to choose the right program within the field an applicant wants to enter or continue working in
- What career paths graduates typically pursue (and what paths exist that perhaps aren’t so typical!)
In addition, Lee also hosted a seminar on financing a graduate degree. He used this event to:
- Discuss the different types of financial aid
- Help students plan their financing strategy
- Give students resources to research different sources of merit-based aid
The recording of each of these events can be found here. These seminars will serve as a wonderful resource to any student who is considering a graduate degree in one of the fields discussed – we hope that your advisees find them helpful in crafting their future plans!
