California Forum for Diversity in Graduate Education

Location

UCSD

Free

The California Forums for Diversity in Graduate Education, planned by a consortium of public and private colleges and universities from throughout California, have been designed particularly to meet the needs of advanced undergraduates and master's candidates who belong to groups that are currently underrepresented in doctoral-level programs. The groups include low-income and first-generation college students and especially African Americans, American Indians, Chicanos/Latinos, Filipinos, Pacific Islanders, Asian American women, and Asian American men in the arts, humanities, and social and behavioral sciences. Participating students are in good academic standing with a GPA of 3.0 or above.

The forum will offer workshops on:
· How to Select, Apply to and Prepare for Graduate School
· How to Prepare for the GRE
· The Relation of the Master’s Degree to the PhD
· Financing your Graduate Education
· Undergraduate Research Opportunities
· Managing Health, Wellness and Disability in Graduate School
· How to Write a Winning Statement of Purpose
· The Keys to Success and Survival in Grad School

In addition, the forum includes a graduate fair featuring 200 recruiters from across the nation and free access to the Princeton Review’s online GRE prep course.

Note that these events are for all disciplines except MBA programs, medicine, dentistry, optometry, chiropractic, pharmacy, veterinary science, and law, all of which have their own recruiting networks.
