CGS Publications for Graduate Students

CGS has developed five publications designed to assist students in making decisions about continuing their education beyond the baccalaureate. 

Graduate School and You: A Guide for Prospective Graduate Students acts as a resource for students by explaining what graduate school is; preparation for graduate school; career options with a graduate degree; considerations in making the decision to pursue a graduate education; financing a graduate education; and choosing and applying to a graduate school.  To purchase a copy of the publication, please click here.

Graduate Study in the United States: A Guide for Prospective International Graduate Students is designed to assist students for outside the United States by providing a clear and concise overview of the essential information and steps all international students need to take in order to study in the U.S. The publication provides detailed information about the important documents needed to complete the application process and how to obtain a visa and other forms necessary to authorize a stay in the United States.

Why Should I Get A Master’s Degree? Individuals who earn a master’s degree gain an edge in today’s increasingly competitive global marketplace, they typically earn more money over the course of their careers than individuals with bachelor’s degrees, and they can play a substantial leadership role in the evolving knowledge economy of the 21st century. Why Should I Get a Master’s Degree, developed by CGS, highlights these and other reasons for pursuing graduate education. Click here to download a .pdf copy free of charge.

Open Doors with a Doctorate. Higher education in the United States is arguably the best in the world, with doctoral education the “jewel in the crown,” attracting the best and the brightest domestic and international students. Doctorate recipients become the world’s leading researchers, educators, experts, and innovators; enrich the arts and literature; discover new vaccines and cures; document history; strengthen the global economy; and develop new technologies. This CGS flyer highlights these and other reasons why students might consider pursuing a doctorate. Click here to download a .pdf copy free of charge.
