Can you only start grad school in the fall semester?

Friday, September 30th, 2011
SkyNightDreamer asked:


Hi I was wondering if anyone knows whether or not you can start graduate degree programs in the spring semester, or if they always have to start in the fall?

I’m going to graduate next December and plan on going to grad school for psychology… I’m wondering if I have to wait til the next Sept to start or not.

Also, anyone know of any good psych grad programs in Massachusetts or Rhode Island? Thanks!

How hard is grad school and work?

Thursday, September 29th, 2011
Mark A asked:


I am planning to go to grad school to at least get my masters after my four year degree. How time consuming are most graduate programs and if I were to go through it in two years how difficult would it be to work a job on the side in spare time?

GRAD SCHOOL?

Thursday, September 29th, 2011
rnrbear101 asked:


I am currently a 4th year at UC Berkeley, and I transfered last year.
I had a 3.88 gpa at my Comm College, and now at Berkeley I have a 3.0.

I am currently thinking about going to grad school.
For Comm with focus on advertizing or strategic public relations.

I am looking at schools like USC, CSUF, LSU, UT, SDSU, and GWU.

My question is,
I know most of the schools like USC and GWU have average gpas of 3.4 acceptance for these graduate schools.
The two questions are:
1: I am almost positive but make clear to me that USC will look at my Comm College gpa and take it into consideration (also the weight that a 3.0 at Berkeley must look some what more substantial). (If you average my Berk and Comm College it would be a 3.4)
2: I am the editor of a magazine on Berkeley’s campus, also the Officer Historian for a club, and have an internship with a congressman (that I am doing right now) Do any of these affect my chances of grad school acceptences?

What are some other options besides grad school?

Sunday, September 25th, 2011
thedefendingchamp asked:


There is your typical grad school. There is law school. There is film school. What else? After I get my undergrad degree, I am interested in some schooling that will actually help me get a job. However, I am interested in finding out some options that may be less obvious. What are some alternative types of schooling available? Or any other ideas you might have are welcome. Thanks.

I’m looking to go to graduate school to study linguistics but will not have a bachelor’s in that field (German instead with minors in History and Education). Will I still be able to get an assistantship to help pay for the cost of grad school?

Tiana asked:


I am getting my BA in Psychology and plan to go to grad school after for my PHD but don’t know a lot about it. Is it completely different or similar to what I am doing now? Am I still going to be sitting in a classroom listening to lectures and then studying a book and taking tests or is it more hands on or what?
