Many students decide to go on to graduate-level work to help them achieve their academic, personal, and career goals. Students interested in graduate school should plan ahead, research possible schools carefully, and start working toward the admissions requirements early in their undergraduate careers. This typically includes taking challenging courses, maintaining a high GPA, performing well on entrance tests, and submitting a strong application. However, students should carefully research schools to determine the specific criteria for those particular institutions. The resources below offer some starting points for exploring graduate school, but students should also feel free to consult with Justice Studies faculty and advisors to learn more.
