What is Best for You?As you might guess, the answer to this question depends on your ultimate goals, interests and priorities. Perhaps your short and long-term goals may be met with your Bachelor’s degree alone. Perhaps an advanced degree will be necessary. Consult with your advisor and do some research on your own. Talk with people in various fieldsand ask for their advice.Selecting a SchoolSelecting a graduate or professional program can be a difficult process. It isnever too early to start gathering information or even visiting campuses.There are a variety of resources on our campus that can help you narrowyour choices. Consult with your advisor, examine the school brochures ondisplay in the Biology Department, and visit the Career DevelopmentServices office.When you start looking for a graduate or professional program, don’t bemisled by the program’s name. For example, if you are interested instudying molecular biology, don’t limit your search to schools with a “Department of Molecular Biology”. In somecases, departments may go by very broad names and still give students opportunities to specialize in a particulararea. A “Biology Department” may have a large group of molecular biologists.One way to identify a program that matches your goals is to use the literature to identify the scientists who areworking in areas of interest to you. University web sites may also be helpful. Find out where the scientists in yourfield of interest are working and contact them directly (by phone, mail, or email) to find out what prospects mayexist for study under their supervision.
