Indentifying Graduate Programs

A first step is to identify and prioritize those factors important to you in a graduate or professional degree program. These may include:

• Graduate school faculty and their area of research
• Hamilton faculty recommendations
• Program's area(s) of specialization
• Your competitiveness for specific program
• Overall reputation of program
• Career/employment success of graduates
• Location
• Financial aid available

A next step is to determine programs that best meet your criteria. We recommend Peterson's Graduate Planner to identify programs.
