Thank you for attending the Graduate and Continuing Education Information Session!

We appreciate you taking the time from your busy schedule to learn more about our programs. If you’re interested in taking the next step, follow the to-do list below to get started on attaining your educational goals.

In everyday life, roadblocks are those unexpected things that pop up and make your life more difficult. Whether you need a referral to schedule a doctor’s appointment resulting in ANOTHER phone call, or an actual roadblock where a trip that was supposed to take 10 minutes now takes 30, or returning to school and having something small turn into something huge, we're here to help!

Always be prepared…..isn’t that what your parents always taught you?  This is great advice that you can apply to every aspect of your life.  And it's especially important when dealing with financial decisions like returning to school.  You want to make sure all of your bases are covered and that you go into this knowing how it will affect you, as well as your family.  What better way to be prepared and organized than having a tailor made checklist to make sure all parts of your graduate school decision are covered?

A lot of people who are considering graduate school are held up by the idea of taking the GREs.  The Graduate Record Examination (GRE), is a standardized test that was, until recently, an admissions requirement for most graduate schools in the United States. 

We now have a great new function on our website that allows anyone to get answers to their questions right away.  Go to one of our many pages and in the bottom right hand corner see the “Let’s Chat!” button pop up.  Type in your question and let one of our friendly and knowledgeable staff provide you with the information you need.

Many graduate programs require that students finish either a practicum or a thesis to  qualify for a degree.  Programs like counseling, education, and nursing have different types of practicums, so be sure to check the plan of study for your program of interest to confirm what you will need to do to complete your degree.

The following scholarships are available to graduate students only, and reference the requirements for applying.

Almost done with your bachelor’s degree and thinking about graduate school?

How frustrating is it to run errands when you have to make 3 or more different stops? Pack up the children, find a place to park, walk to the building, and handle whatever business you need to ….you could take a full day just running a few tiny errands!  Not at Fitchburg State University. We have all of the administrative offices housed in one building, consider the Anthony Building your one stop shop for all of your academic needs.
