VIRTUAL: Is Grad School a Good Move For My Career? with Kevin Kiley, MBA ’07

While a graduate degree can be a key ingredient for career success, it’s also true that an advanced degree isn’t for everyone. Before deciding what schools you might apply to, what program format is best for you, or even simply what kind of degree you’ll pursue, it’s important to first address: Should I even pursue a graduate degree? In this webinar, certified career coach and Olin alumnus Kevin Kiley, MBA ’07, will discuss how to determine whether graduate school is right for you—and how to find out. He will also share ideas for funding a graduate degree and walk through some examples.
