“This
level of functionality has previously never existed in the graduate
school realm,” says Doug Seymour, a GradSchools.com
student advisor. “Students now truly have the
capability to make their graduate school search their own, to
fit their needs and find the exact graduate programs that work
best for them. Beyond increased ease of use, the new GradSchools.com
also allows prospective graduate students to make meaningful connections
with advisors and other graduate students, offering support and
other helpful resources in the school search process.”
GradSchools.com
has been the leading online destination for graduate school searches
for the past 12 years. A redesigned version of the site launched
in May, and has already received rave reviews from users.
“I
think these new features are great” says
Alison Finberg, current elementary education master’s
student at Holy Family University. “The graduate
school decision process is getting harder and harder, with more
and more choices and considerations. I always thought GradSchools.com
did an excellent job of collecting all the information students
needed, and now it will help students like me keep track of everything
too.”
More than 60,000 graduate school programs are listed on GradSchools.com,
searchable by field of study, subject, location, institution and
even keyword. To learn more or to search for a graduate program,
