Planning for Graduate School

Choosing to apply to graduate programs is a big decision. Graduate school can be significant stepping stone towards your careers goals. It is also a significant investment of time, money, and energy. Therefore, students should seek academic and career counseling to discuss graduate school.

UCLA CAREER CENTER

The UCLA Career Center provides comprehensive information and resources on planning for graduate or professional school online.


If you are a UCLA student pursuing a career in a health profession, visit Pre-Health at UCLA for information, services and resources geared toward the health field. 

ACADEMIC COUNSELING

Students should meet with the academic advisors for neuroscience to plan their coursework. Students are expected to research admission criteria for graduate programs and ask their counselor questions about classes that fulfill the requirements.


AAP GRADUATE MENTORING AND RESEARCH PROGRAMS

The Academic Advancement Program (AAP) provides a wealth of resources for students who are interested in applying to graduate school, including application resources, fee waivers, testing materials, a resource library, and so on. During the summer, they also offer a Grad Prep Course that offers weekly workshops and information on topics such as selecting a program, preparing your application materials, asking for letters of recommendation, preparing for admissions exams, networking, and adjusting to graduate/professional school.
