No, you don't have to go to law school

Professor Frank Baumgartner will be talking about graduate school opportunities other than law school for Political Science and International Politics majors.  Topics include why graduate school might be a good option for you, how MPP, MPA, MA, and PhD programs differ from each other, how to pay for graduate school (or better yet, how to get paid to go to graduate school), and what graduate school admissions committees look for.  Of course, there will be plenty of opportunity for question and answer.  

If you are wondering, "Do I really have to go to law school?" this session is right for you:  Wednesday, September 27 at 7:00 PM in 169  WILLARD
