Questions to Ask Any Graduate Program
1. What do you teach here?
2. What is the largest and the most typical class size for a graduate class? Are classes restricted to
graduate students? To majors?
3. What would be the advantages and disadvantages to going to grad school immediately after
completing an undergraduate degree? The advantages and disadvantages of waiting a few years? The
best use of the interim time?
4. What are the criteria and process for selecting TAs, RAs, and Fellows?
5. Will I get to develop my own topics, or will I be expected to work on a professor's ongoing research?
6. What facilities are available for graduate students? Are there any restrictions on access?
7. What is the mean time to complete (a) classwork, (b) research, (c) thesis or dissertation? That is, what is
the mean time to complete the master's or Ph.D.? Ask about the program as a whole, but perhaps more
importantly, by professor.
8. What is your attrition rate? Of those who don't finish, what are their reasons?
9. What kind of student thrives in your program?
10. How reliable is your financial support year to year? Is the first-year offer always sustained, given
attainment of academic goals?
11. What are the age range, gender balance, ratio of married/single, and geographical origins of graduate
students in the program?
12. Can you tell me who is launching new projects? Which professors have won awards and grants lately?
(These presumably need graduate assistants).
13. Can you tell me about your placement rates and types of jobs obtained by recent graduates? (Avoid
relying on testimonials and anecdotal evidence).
14. May I meet some currently enrolled students? (In person, or later via phone or email; be sure to ask
about their research topics and be sure to take notes on specific professors mentioned).
15. How can I be a strong candidate for a program like this?
Seeking Word-of-Mouth Advice
1. How did you get into this field?
2. What education or credentials are required for continued advancement in this field?
3. What was different than what you expected? Any myths you want to shatter for me?
4. What advice would you have for a young person interested in this field?
5. Should I go to grad school right away or work for a year or two first? If work, what kind of experiences
would be best?
6. Which grad schools do you think are best in this field? Why?
7. Do you know any professors that I should contact?
