Training & Additional Education<\/b><\/h2>\n
\n

Many roles within the Government, Human Services, and Education industries require additional education beyond a Bachelor\u2019s level degree. Graduate school requirements vary based on each program and commonly accept all undergraduate majors.<\/p>\n

We encourage you to review our Grad School Module below to learn if grad school is the best fit for you.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Please note that your Career Education Specialists will assist you in finding resources for applying to grad schools (including building an effective personal statement), but do not advise on specific graduate programs.  If you are interested in learning more about a specific program, contact that school\u2019s graduate admissions office directly.
