K-STATE SALINA TO OFFER SEMINAR ON SELECTING A GRADUATE PROGRAM

SALINA -- Imagining M.S. or Ph.D. after your name? Before you jump in, get some advise from a pro.

Carol Shanklin, dean of the Kansas State University Graduate School, will present "Is Graduate School for You?" at 6:30 p.m. Monday, April 25, in the College Center Conference Room at Kansas State University Salina. The presentation is free and open to the public.

The seminar will address reasons for pursuing an advanced degree, factors to consider in selecting a graduate degree program and how to prepare application materials to be competitive.
