Grad School... HELP
« on: September 18, 2006, 10:26:57 PM »
Hey,

I am trying to find a graduate degree, but I dont know what I want it in.

Does anyone know of a website where you can put in your interests etc. then it will find you a grad program?

Well thats a very good question.  Personally I do not have a really good answer for you.

You could try just looking around at various different programs, or try looking at some sites related to grad school such as www.gradschools.com or http://www.quintcareers.com/grad_school.html or something.

I would recommend talking to your adviser or checking to see if NDSU has any resources for stuff like this; I am sure they can help you in some way.

Other then that you may want to take a career aptitude test and then find a program that will fit into that.

Good question.

I would suggest that you consult your adviser and other NDSU resources.

Also take a look at http://www.petersons.com/graduate_home.asp?path=gr.home

If you still haven't figured it out, you can make an appointment with a career counselor in Counseling Serivces.  I went in to talk to them when I was a freshman and they were really helpful.  They gave me a few tests to take and went through the scores with me after.  And it is free to all NDSU students, but you should probably call and make an appointment.

A couple about my interests, what I like to do with my free time, what I think I excel at...stuff like that.  The tests are actually kinda fun, I learned a lot about myself.  You can check out more here: http://www.ndsu.edu/counseling/career.shtml.
