Graduate School 101 Workshop Series
Coming up with a plan for getting into graduate school isn’t easy, but our Graduate School 101 Workshop Series can make the process a whole lot less painful. No…the competition is fierce, the hurdles are many, and the difference is often who is best prepared.
Join us for all or any of our seven sessions covering personal statements, studying for the GRE, financing, and life as a grad student. The sessions are free.
To guarantee a seat, please register online, call (309) 438-7100, or come to 012 Vrooman Hall. If you need a special accommodation to participate, please call (309) 438-7100.
