Step 1: Should I go to a Grad School?
Are you considering going to a Graduate School? Are you aware of all your options and what a graduate program involves – financially, mentally, and emotionally?
Entering a graduate program is an important decision that will affect your life for 2-3 years and should not be taken lightly.
Step 2: Finding a Grad School
Whether you are an American student or an International student ready to embark on a graduate degree, there are a wide range of potential options for a US graduate school.
The number of master’s and doctorate degrees being awarded in the United States is growing. With accredited grad schools throughout the US, each state and grad school has unique features and graduate programs to offer.
Step 3: Graduate School Statement of Purpose
If you’re applying to graduate school, you’ll likely need to submit a statement of purpose. While you may be familiar with a personal statement from your undergraduate application, know that a statement of purpose shares qualities with a personal statement but there are key differences as well.
Step 4: Test Preparation
Need help practicing for the Graduate School Entrance Exams (GRE, GMAT, LSAT, MAT, MCAT, PCAT)?
If you need to ensure a top score on a graduate school entrance exam, Bethany College offers our students free practice testing through the Learning Express Library.

Step 5: Interview Preparation
Many graduate schools require an interview as part of the application process. Graduate school interviews allow university staff to evaluate your potential to succeed in their program.
These interviews might be with a single interviewer or a panel of university staff, and will likely include a mixture of specialized questions about your subject area and general questions about your goals and experience.
Step 6: Funding
Fellowships
One of the many challenges of graduate school is obtaining the funding needed to pay for tuition, fees and living expenses.
Fortunately, there are organizations that recognize the value of a graduate education, and these parties help students afford to pursue a Masters or PhD degree through graduate fellowships.
