Prospective Students

Making the decision to enter graduate school is difficult enough without having to dig and dig for information about various programs. Following are a few tips on making your decision, and finding information.

Why Graduate School? Why IAKM?
Graduate School is for those who have a particular interest in a specific subject and wish to study beyond the undergraduate level or, as in the case of those in IAKM, for those who have discovered a career path for which a master's degree in the appropriate area could give them an advantage over the competition.

The Career Services Center on Kent Campus provides counseling for those students looking to make their next career decision, whether it is for a job search or choosing a graduate program. They also have information on the web to help prospective students think through their decision.
