Graduate School &
Pre-Professional Programs

Most Amherst graduates eventually go on to graduate or professional school, with the majority taking one or more years before entry to gain experience or clarify personal and professional goals.

The Amherst College Career Center supports students who aspire to attend graduate school by:

--Providing you with information about your field of interest and the role advanced degrees play in achievement within that field

--Helping you anticipate the steps to application, including standardized tests

--Providing information about scholarships and fellowships for graduate study

--Advising you about necessary pre-requisite courses or experiences as you prepare for attendance at a graduate or professional school
