For many, the thought of applying to graduate school is both an exciting and overwhelming process filled with questions and anxieties. How do you choose the right program? Should you do a Masters or PhD program? What are graduate programs looking for in potential candidates?
New faculty member Dr. Caleb Owen, will be hosting a workshop series through the Department of History to address these issues, respond to specific student questions, and explain the process of applying to Masters and PhD programs. Having just finished his PhD in African History at Michigan State University, Dr. Owen has recent knowledge of the structure and challenges of today’s graduate programs.
The first workshop will emphasize the steps to choosing the right program—including the questions you need to ask of potential program—and what serious applicants need to be thinking about in order to build successful application portfolios. Subsequent workshops will target application statements and success in graduate school.
