Welcome to the SoHE Graduate School Guide!
This guide is intended to provide resources about graduate school and share best practices in making an informed decision. Sections include how to determine if graduate school is the right step for you, and how and what you need to prepare for the application process.
Most graduate programs have their own application process, there is not a Common App resource available for prospective graduate students. (There are exceptions: AMCAS and AACOMAS for med school applications, for example.) However, there are similar requirements, which have been outlined in this guide.
We hope the key takeaways from this guide are:
- You need to have thoughtfully reflected on your decision to pursue graduate education and know which programs are the right next step for you, and that you can afford graduate school (money, time, energy-wise).
- Your application materials should be tailored to the programs to which you are applying. Demonstrate why you belong at that particular institution and why that program is the right fit for you.
You are not alone in this! SoHE Career Advisors and faculty are available to support your reflection and application processes. We want you to be successful Human Ecologists at any level!
