5 Reasons Why Graduate School is Right for you – Now, not Later
Many undergraduates decide that at some point that they would like to pursue their goal of earning their advanced degree. Some decide to take some time off between their undergraduate and graduate education. Others go straight from earning their undergraduate degree to graduate school. Which way you decide to go depends on you personally, but here are 5 reasons why you should consider going to graduate school right now…
1. You are already in a “school” mode. As an undergraduate you have spent the last 4 or so years of your life studying and engrossed in a college environment. While graduate school is a deeper commitment than undergraduate school, what you learned from your undergraduate education is still fresh in your mind when you enter graduate school. You still have a school mindset and it is easier to take what you have learned in undergrad and apply it toward your graduate degree if there isn’t a lapse in time.
2. While you are still enrolled at your college or university, information about graduate schools and their programs is more readily available to you. You still have immediate access to your teachers and professors, career advisors, and libraries of information about graduate schools, etc. If you have already graduated and moved on, you can still access this information but it takes a little more work to find and research the information. It is not at your fingertips like it is during your undergraduate study.
3. It is easier to request reference letters from faculty and staff. You, as a student, are fresh in the minds of your professors when you are still enrolled as a student, rather than after you graduate. You can walk to their office, request the letter, and pick it up without much effort at all. If you have already graduated, you will have to contact the professor, hope that he or she remembers who you are, and then make arrangements to receive the letter of reference from them.
4. Another reason to go straight from undergraduate to graduate school is that some advanced programs recruit recent graduates versus those that have been out of school for a period of time. While this doesn’t mean that you won’t get accepted to graduate school, it just means that the process may be simpler and less stressful if you pursue graduate school immediately following undergrad.
5. It is less disruptive to the flow of your life to go straight from undergraduate to graduate school. Once you are finished with school, both undergraduate and graduate, then you can carry on with your career and your family and home life. You avoid the interruption of having to go back to graduate school after you have been in the “real world” for a few years if you follow-up your undergrad with grad school.
Graduate school can be a very rewarding experience, but it should not be entered into lightly. It is a huge commitment of your time and money. Choosing to go to graduate school is a decision that you should make based on your own personal needs, goals, and desires. There are many factors that you should consider very carefully before making your decision.
Distance Learning Through Online Schools Programs
When you think about it, waking up in the morning, rushing off to someplace else and sitting one’s posterior in a hard chair in a sterile, windowless classroom is not terribly conducive to learning – and is something that online schools programs address. Every year, the list of online schools grows longer as more and more students in all stages of life turn to online schools programs.
Where To Find Online Schools
Online schools started out as an extension of brick and mortar institutions. According to a principal at an academy in Oklahoma, online education is of great assistance to students in overcoming problems that might have prevented them from graduating altogether. But it goes beyond basic K-12 education these days. Online schools masters and even doctoral programs are available today through many major colleges and universities. The advantage of an online schools masters degree is that (A) you won’t have to travel or relocate in order to complete coursework, and (B) you can usually complete online schools masters requirements at your own pace. There are typically deadlines for completing an online schools masters- level course, but you usually have up to twelve months to do so.
A list of online schools is usually easy to find by simply going to your preferred search engine and entering “find online schools.” A search on one major search engine for example will bring up a list of online schools totaling 266 million results. Of course, not all of these will be online schools; many will be listings of both virtual academies as well as public schools and universities that offer degree programs on the World Wide Web.
The Online Schools Programs Advantage
In addition to not having to travel or relocate, completing a degree online can mean lower costs as well. Going to a traditional brick-and-mortar university involves the payment of many fees above and beyond tuition; there are associated student body (ASB) fees that pay for upkeep and maintenance of facilities, parking fees (for those with a vehicle on campus) and many other fees that do not apply to students taking courses over the Internet. This alone is an excellent reason to investigate the many Internet-based degree programs now available in everything from agronomy to zoology. In fact, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, some 90% of all jobs now require some post-secondary education. There’s no better nor economical way to improve your chances in the job market than by getting a degree through one of the many online schools programs available on the World Wide Web.
