Questions to Ask Any Graduate Program1. What kind of student thrives in your program?2. What would be the advantages and disadvantages to going to grad school immediately

after completing an undergraduate degree? The advantages and disadvantages of waiting a few years? The best use of the interim time?

3. Can you tell me about your placement rates and types of jobs obtained by recent graduates? (Avoid relying on testimonials and anecdotal evidence).

4. How can I be a strong candidate for a program like this?5. What is the largest and the most typical class size for a graduate class? Are classes

restricted to graduate students? To majors?6. What are the criteria and process for selecting TAs, RAs, and Fellows?7. Will I get to develop my own topics, or will I be expected to work on a professor's

ongoing research?8. What facilities are available for graduate students? Are there any restrictions on access?9. What is the mean time to complete (a) classwork, (b) research, (c) thesis or dissertation?

That is, what is the mean time to complete the master's or Ph.D.? Ask about the program as a whole, but perhaps more importantly, by professor.

10.What is your attrition rate? Of those who don't finish, what are their reasons?11.How reliable is your financial support year to year? Is the first-year offer always

sustained, given attainment of academic goals?12.What are the age range, gender balance, ratio of married/single, and geographical

origins of graduate students in the program?13.Can you tell me who is launching new projects? Which professors have won awards and

grants lately? (These presumably need graduate assistants).14.May I meet some currently enrolled students? (In person, or later via phone or email; be

sure to ask about their research topics and be sure to take notes on specific professors mentioned).

Seeking Word-of-Mouth Advice1. How did you get into this field?2. What education or credentials are required for continued advancement in this field?3. What was different than what you expected? Any myths you want to shatter for me?4. What advice would you have for a young person interested in this field?5. Should I go to grad school right away or work for a year or two first? If work, what kind

of experiences would be best?6. Which grad schools do you think are best in this field? Why?7. Do you know any professors that I should contact?
