What exactly is graduate education?
Graduate school is vastly different from what you might have experienced, or are currently experiencing, as an undergraduate at your respective university. As an undergraduate, you are exposed to a wide array of general subjects through your classes, usually called “breadth” requirements, where you learn a little bit about a lot of topics. In graduate school, you do the opposite. You will learn a lot about a very specialized topic, or limited number of topics, in order to become an expert in your chosen field.
