Graduate & Professional School Resources for Alumni

There are a number of useful resources available for individuals considering applying to graduate or professional school. As a graduate of West Chester University, it is recommended that you reconnect with faculty members for advice and information.

The Career Development Center has a resource area with graduate school resources and free publications profiling graduate programs, and a variety of other useful print materials. Alumni may also schedule an appointment with a Career Development staff member to:

Discuss career goals and determine whether graduate study will help to achieve and advance those goals.
Learn how to research and obtain more information about specific programs of interest.
Get assistance with how to identify other factors that help one determine where to apply, such as financial aid, geographic location, size of the institution, student life, and more.
Have personal statements, resumes, and related materials reviewed to ensure goals and experiences are well represented within the application.

Additional Resources

There are a variety of resources to prepare for graduate entrance exams. By linking to these sites, the career center does not endorse nor support any one program or enterprise; rather, these links are for your informational purposes. Please note that many preparatory programs are fee-based services and we encourage you to investigate and research your options carefully. The Learning Assistance and Resource Center (LARC) may at times offer prep workshops, as do some local community colleges. This list is not comprehensive and we urge students and alumni to let us know of useful resources to add or report links which are broken.
