Format & Schedule

To reduce Zoom fatigue, we'll "flip the classroom" and provide information about our program and faculty in advance of the Overview. On the evening of 3/22 we'll host an overview of the two programs and our graduate program and provide a chance to ask any questions about the degree requirements and admission process. On the evening of 3/25 we'll conclude with a Grad Student Panel providing our guests a chance to ask questions of our current grad students.

We invite you to learn more about the many research topics and centers available to students in our programs.
