Admissions and Application Process

Connecting Students with Graduate Programs

Thinking about graduate school? The Bloustein School worked with Idealist on their Grad School 101 video series. The video series complements the Idealist Grad Fairs, and strives to help prospective students navigate the graduate school application and financial aid process.

Idealist.org helps connect prospective graduate students with public-interest / social impact graduate programs, and recently created a video highlighting their Grad Schools directory. Graduate schools join and create profiles with program information, application requirements, and enrollment data to tell candidates what they need to know about their programs. Prospective students can access this information in one location and use filters to tailor their grad school search to their specific needs.
