I encourage you to explore the programs we offer on the Graduate & Advance Degree page<\/a>. These initiatives are designed to address your unique needs at every stage of your graduate education. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Considering Graduate School? <\/strong>
If you are contemplating graduate studies and seeking clarity on whether this path aligns with your goals, I encourage you to participate in our Passport to Grad School<\/a> program. This initiative provides essential information on costs, the application process, career advancement opportunities, and other critical topics to help you make an informed decision. This series begins in January.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For those who have decided to pursue graduate education, our Future GRADS MentorSHPE<\/a> program offers personalized guidance. You will be paired with a mentor who will support you through the application process and provide insights relevant to Master\u2019s, Ph.D., and Post-Doctoral candidates. This program starts in August.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Active graduate students are invited to join the SHPE Grad Series. This program delivers monthly sessions focused on career transitions, networking, balancing parenthood with academic responsibilities, and more. Our goal is to be your partner in achieving academic success and graduation. This program runs from January to May and August to October.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
