In addition to the resources recommended below, you can talk to trusted professors and mentors, research relevant professional organization websites, and review academic journals and publishing in your field of interest.

Graduate School Databases

Princeton Review does more than just help you ace your SAT’s! It has a comprehensive grad school search guide in addition to test prep services.
US News & World Report is best known for its school rankings, but it also offers guidance to prospective students on how to decide whether to attend grad school and how to identify the correct type of program.

Graduate School Fairs & Tabling

Many graduate schools participate in fairs – both virtual and on campus to promote their programs and connect with prospective students. You can find graduate school fairs posted on Handshake and explore virtual options through platforms like CareerEco.

Some graduate programs will visit campus and host information tables, so check out the Graduate School page on Villanova’s Career Connections for upcoming events.
