Planning
Although
graduation may seem a long way off to you now, you should begin
early in making plans for your future. Although UMBC does not offer
a graduate program in English, if you are interested in graduate
study or in entering a professional school, your advisor or any
member of the faculty will be happy to talk with you about the procedures
and requirements for pursuing post-graduate education.
Also,
the Office of Career Development
and Placement can give you general help and will assist you
in starting a dossier, which you will need both for graduate and
professional school applications and for seeking employment. Particularly
important to this dossier are letters of recommendation from faculty
who know you and your work. You should obtain these as you go along,
when the professors are readily available and their memory of your
work is fresh, rather than waiting until graduation approaches.
