GRADUATE/ PROFESSIONAL SCHOOL
Is it too early to think about graduate or professional
school? Absolutely not! Many career interests carry a
graduate or professional degree as an entrance requirement.
Develop a short and long term education plan. If you
are unsure about the education needed for your intended
career, take the time to access this information. You
might decide to change your mind about your long range
plan, but at least you will be making an informed decision.
Remember, advanced degrees offer Ventures Scholars
the opportunity for continued career advancement and
the potential to earn a higher salary.
The Ventures Scholars Program is developing a consortium
of graduate and professional schools that are eager
to share information about career pathways for Ventures
Scholars interested in math- or science-based career.
Consider speaking with graduate or professional school
personnel or our professional association representatives
to learn about requirements for specific programs.
