The KSU Office of Graduate Admissions will host the Graduate School Fair Thursday, Oct. 25 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the University Rooms of the Carmichael Student Center.
KSU is one of 10 schools taking part in the 2012 Georgia Graduate Fair Circuit, which is made up of independently run Graduate Fairs. There will be 50 schools attending the fair to display the graduate programs offered by each school. The schools in attendance, including KSU, are from Georgia and other areas of the U.S.
Emory University, the University of Georgia, Morehouse School of Medicine, and Savannah College of Art and Design and the University of West Georgia are just a few examples of Georgia schools that will be sharing information about their graduate programs.
Some out-of-state schools that will attend include Auburn University Harrison School of Pharmacy, Belmont University Law School, the University of Miami, Columbia University’s Teachers College, Chapman University School of Law and the University of Alabama.
Each school will have a table set up with information about the school and graduate programs. Any interested students may attend and request the information from Graduate schools.
KSU has more than 24,000 graduate and undergraduate students, with exactly 1,849 students enrolled in graduate programs this fall, almost a 5 percent increase compared to last year.
The graduate programs include degrees in nursing, business, information systems, conflict management, public administration, education and professional writing. The Ph.D. programs include degrees in nursing, education, business and international conflict management.
Many U.S. Graduate schools require applicants to take the Graduate Record Examination or GRE, a standardized test that was designed to measure verbal and quantitative reasoning, analytical writing and critical thinking.
To accommodate a quickly growing graduate school population, KSU has been expanding programs and facilities. KSU recently opened a graduate research library on the third floor of the Sturgis Library, specifically designed for graduate student needs.
