PhD Application Process: Choosing a School/Advisor

This 5-part workshop is designed to introduce Viterbi undergraduates to the purpose of a pursuing a PhD, and aid in their PhD application process. All Viterbi majors are invited to attend one or more workshops.

Unlike choosing a school for undergraduate where the school ranking can be a significant factor, for graduate school, the research topic and advisor should be the primary consideration. This is followed by other factors including school ranking. We will discuss how to determine which areas of research interest you and how to find professors in those areas.
