Make Your Graduate Degree a Career Strategy

You've decided to return to school, but you have several questions: which program to choose, when to start, how it fits with your budget and schedule, and how it affects the people who depend on you.

Going through these questions can help you select the right program to broaden your options and advance your career. If you apply to graduate school without a clear plan, you may end up pursuing a degree that costs more than the benefits it provides.

The key difference often lies in the decisions you make before submitting your application.

The 20 questions in this book are designed to help you think clearly, select programs that align with your goals, and develop a strategy. This way, your degree will become real momentum rather than just another credential.

Got Admitted and Funded

As an educator, my schedule stays full. I needed something that would cut through the noise and make the graduate school process manageable. Dr. Grimes' book did exactly that. It helped me get admitted into my master's program and gave me the language to secure funding from my charter school to cover the cost. If you are serious about applying, get this book.
