Grad
& Law School:
•
Thinking about grad school?
First, make sure you really want to
go. This article
in the Chronicle of Higher Education, written by
an English professor at Hope College, is pretty blunt
The National
Communication Association's Graduate
Program
Database, an
Excel file to download,
is a great place to start,
but also check the web pages of individual programs that
look interesting
and talk to me or another faculty member.
Of course, one grad program to
consider is our very own in the IPFW
Communication Department
And wherever you want to go to grad school, follow this
good advice from a
communication professor at the University of Illinois
and from the Chronicle
of
Higher Education on completing your application
• Thinking about law school?
Read the American Bar
Association's "Preparation
for Legal Education" for their advice
And read this good advice
from Slate
Magazine and the National
Law
Journal and this Associated
Press article
Then check out the Official Guide
to ABA-Approved Law Schools
And the Department of
Political Science's Pre-Law
Handbook [PDF]
