PODCAST: IS GRADUATE SCHOOL FOR ME?

For those who have asked themselves the question "Is Grad School For Me?", here is a podcast to assist you in that important decision. SHPE Region 7's very own RGR and RVP are asked about the experiences they've had while pursuing a graduate education. This is given from both a PhD (research) and MBA point of view. Learn about what it is like going to graduate school, how it is gaining a MBA while working, and how different being a research assistant is from being a regular student.
