Notes from the Director:
It is our firm belief that most graduates benefit from working for a year or two between undergraduate and graduate schools. Whether or not this is work related to their undergraduate majors is not critical. What matters is that they gain a sense of efficacy and fine tune their visions for their futures. Thus “work unrelated to major” includes a Political Science Major who is serving as a Teacher’s Aide while applying to law schools, a Psychology major who is working at Ryder Rentals while waiting to hear whether an application to the State Police Academy is accepted, and an Education major spending two years working his way around the world, plus the traditional few who are working at Starbucks and applying to graduate schools in the Fall.
