Career Services: Grad School

In one of my earlier posts I mentioned how I was looking into grad schools. Recently, I signed up for my GRE prep course so time is moving quickly. For this assignment, I went to find out more about future grad schools. I had actually researched a dual program between ASU and the University of Minnesota. The event was not explicitly posted on the Career Services website but it was a similar type event.

The University of Minnesota staff came down to talk with students at the downtown campus about their Nutrution & Public Policy/Public Health programs. I had a chance to meet with Andy, a representative of the program to talk more about it. He answered a lot of my questions and I was actually really interested in the program because it allows me to stay at ASU. The program is unique because it allows you to live in ASU and then spend summer's interning in Minnesota. The degree does not mention anything about ASU but you get the benefits of both university. 

Andy referred me Marjorie Baldwin who works at ASU and I decided to meet with her too in order to hear more about the program. I met with her in hopes of meeting current grad students in the program, but haven't heard from back her yet.

  1. That's so great that you got to network like that! I attended a career fair last semester, and even though I wasn't prepared to accept a job I met many different people and was able to give them my contact information and have kept in touch with a few of them. I hope you hear back soon, and good luck with applying for grad school!

  2. Hey Lauren,

    I am happy you found a program you are interested in and were able to get more information on it! I am currently in the process of looking at a few different programs, mostly online, but really having a difficult time choosing one. I think the first thing I need to decide is where I want to move to and then go from there! I wish you the best of luck!
