Graduate School Crash Course

Thursday, September 18, 12-1 p.m., via Zoom

Have you ever asked yourself any of the following questions: “Who is my advisor?” “How do I form a committee?” “What even is a committee?” “What are comprehensive exams and do I even have to take them?” “What’s the difference between a thesis and a dissertation?” “What does ‘ABD’ mean?” Whether you are in a master’s or doctorate, there’s a lot of lingo to learn and academic culture to adapt to. Make sure you’re ready! Join Jordan Scott, Graduate Success Coach, and the Graduate School’s Enrollment Services team to navigate both the written and unwritten rules of grad school in this hour-long crash course.
