The University of Maryland offers over 200 degree granting graduate programs. Attending Graduate School offers countless opportunities for professional, intellectual, and personal growth. Graduate degree holders can earn more money over a career and gain access to management and leadership roles. This semester, the Graduate School at the University of Maryland is holding virtual information sessions on earning a graduate degree. The “Why Graduate School” sessions will explore the benefits of pursuing a graduate education. We will also offer a session on “Preparing for Graduate School” where we will explore what it means to prepare for graduate school beyond having a strong academic record.
