Interested in graduate school but not sure where to start? Encarta, the electronic encyclopedia, recently created a message board devoted to graduate school discussions. Topics are divided into: Arts and Sciences, Business School, Law School, and Medical School, as well as Scholarships and Financial Aid.

Questions such as how to find specific programs and financing graduate school are discussed by people who’ve already been to graduate school or are currently in the research process. Read this article to discover more, and check out the Career Resource Library’s Graduate School information page at: http://my.simmons.edu/library/collections/
