E-Books →Is Graduate School Really for You The Whos, Whats, Hows, and Whys of Pursuing a Master's or Ph.D

Amanda I. Seligman helps potential students navigate graduate study―not just how to get in but how to succeed once you are there and what to expect when you leave. She weighs the pros and cons of attending graduate school against achieving a sustainable work-life balance and explains the application process, the culture of graduate school, and employment prospects for academics.
This book guides readers through the ins and outs of graduate school, and no topic is off limits, including
* qualifications and admission guidelines
* financial aid and graduate stipends
* meeting expectations and residency requirements
* coursework, theses, and dissertations
* degrees, jobs, and academic careers
* tenure, research, and peer review
* social life (will you still have one?)
Written in a question-and-answer format, Is Graduate School Really for You? eliminates the guesswork. Whether you are considering applying to graduate school, already enrolled, or would simply like to know more about continuing your education, this is the book for you.
