Graduate Schools

Here is some good information on graduate schools, as well as medical and law schools.


Tip:
To calculate your GPA in your major, total the credits for each graded course in your major (this is the Total Attempted Credits). For those same courses, total the grade points shown on the transcript (this is the Total Grade Points). Divide the Total Grade Points by the Total Attempted Credits, which results in your Major GPA.

For additional calculations or questions, please contact the Registrar's office at x4289.

Send those reference and recommendation letters to employers by asking the Career Center to send them to addresses in writing. You can either mail your request, drop one by the Career Center if you're on campus, or fax your request to 507-222-4275.
