Choosing a graduate school program isn't just a matter of determining your field. It's also finding a good fit with your research interests and career goals. What do you feel passionate about studying? In deciding where to apply, consider your own goals and directions as well as your resources. Here are a few starting points:
1. Faculty
One of the most important things to consider is the faculty. Is there a certain faculty member you are particularly excited about working with for an extensive period of time? Are your research interests in alignment? What are their areas of expertise, and do the specializations offered by the program seem like a good fit for you? It's important to remember you're much more likely to receive funding if your interests match those of the professors and/or the program.
2. Program Focus
Programs have different strengths, and it's important to learn about the faculty and individual program priorities. Is there an emphasis on theory or research? Do the courses sound interesting to you? What is the average degree completion time, and what is the percentage of students that enter into the PhD program that complete the degree?
