Graduate & Professional School

The Lighthouse provides assistance to students and alumni who are considering graduate or professional school. We have information on:

  • Graduate and professional programs
  • Application process guidelines
  • Admissions tests
  • Financing graduate school

If you plan to attend graduate school immediately after graduation, you should start the graduate school research and application process during the fall of your junior year. We recommend that you start by doing the following:

  1. Attend a Graduate School workshop sponsored by the The Lighthouse.
  2. Research graduate and professional schools.
  3. Consult with faculty in the field.
  4. Consulte with a career counselor in The Lighthouse. Schedule an appointment with Career Development in the Lighthouse at careerdevelopment@vwu.edu.
