Undergrads looking ahead

Undergraduate students who know they want to attend graduate school can start preparing early! If you’ve identified a passion for research in a specific area, connect with your professors to find opportunities to get research experience as an undergrad student. These opportunities, along with maintaining a solid GPA, will help you get a foot in the door for grad school.

If you’re a recently admitted student, or in your first year of study, you may be eligible to complete an accelerated degree that allows you to complete your undergrad and grad degrees in a shorter amount of time. see our accelerated degrees.
