• Individual consultation and assistance with preparation for graduate and professional school, which may include researching graduate school programs, writing personal statements and navigating the application process.
  
• University Career Services highly recommends that students seek the advice of their faculty advisors and academic departments in the graduate school process.
  
• Pre-law students are strongly encouraged to attend our Law School Fair, where representatives from various law schools are present to answer questions, give helpful advice, and orient students to the Law School environment. Phi Alpha Delta, the Pre-Law Fratenity is also a great resource. This year's Law School Fair was held on Wednesday, September 24, 2008 from 4pm-7pm in the Rinker Fieldhouse. Over 35 law schools participated. Congratulations to the students who attended as many of the representatives from these schools commented on how extremely impressed they were with the caliber of Stetson's students.
