Hi everyone. I graduated with a BS in Human Services in June and am researching grad programs. I can't decide whether I should go for a master's in school counseling, mental health counseling, or social work, or possible occupational/rehabilitation therapy. The decision will affect which school I would apply to (I am not looking to move right now, ( Read more... )

I'm about halfway-ish through my master's program (I'm on the 3 year plan, so about a year and a half left to go), and I'm toying with the idea of getting my PhD. I'd want to take a break of at least 1-2 years before starting, partially because I'm 24 now and have more or less been in school my entire life, and also because it'd be nice to bring ( Read more... )

I am completing a term of service as a City Year corps member (a program of AmeriCorps) and it has redirected the course of my future graduate studies. It seems rather disconnected (and, in my opinion, perhaps a bit selfish) to continue to make art that seems to serve a negligible purpose. Yes, this point is arguable at best, but hear me out.

My undergrad degree is in Fine Arts, and exploring ideas through making things has become a very vital part of my life. Getting an MFA is something I've considered, but I'm worried about the ( Read more... )

Hi. I'm looking to apply to a comparative literature program in the fall, and I'm having trouble finding the "fit" aspect of schools. My interests are in romanticism across German / English / French national boundaries. I have a list of schools who do comparative literature, and I'm slowly working through each of them. But I was wondering if ( Read more... )

I have a question for all of you delightful people that may or may not be crazy dream talk. I screwed up my nerve and decided to ask if anyone has ever heard of someone basically studying comics for a Masters, let alone a PHD. I recall reading somewhere academia frowns upon this kind of pursuit. Lord, knows I've not had any luck in my cursory ( Read more... )

I did my BA in Communications.   My research interests are more Sociology based.  I was thinking of applying to some MA programs in Soc but since I have absolutely NO background in Soc , I've been looking for MA in Sociology programs that do not require a background.  The majority of them require extra coursework for those who aren't Soc majors, ( Read more... )

I'm looking at applying for a graduate degree in American Studies. I was looking at getting a Master's before applying for the Ph.D, even though a lot of Ph.D'S in this field don't require a Master's for admission. There are a few programs that are called "Masters of Arts in Liberal Studies" with a concentration in American Studies. Do these ( Read more... )
