APP

The Global Graduate Preparatory Program [GradPrep] offers a web-based module, APP, for busy professionals who wish to prepare for graduate school from the comfort of your home or office. We also recommend APP for prospective students who wish to augment their offline efforts or who participate in other programs and desire additional application assistance.

How does APP work?

  1. APP is a series of 10 web-based modules designed to assist prospective applicants with their graduate school applications, interviewing and relationship-building skills.
  2. Each module lasts for one hour, once a week and is lead by an expert in that area.
  3. You will need internet access, computer/laptop, webcam and microphone for APP.
  4. The book list for APP will be distributed two weeks before the commencement of APP.
  5. APP is offered once every season of the year: Fall, Winter, Spring and Summer.
  6. Before the commencement of APP, each participant must independently secure a Mentor to assist you with your homework.

Limited space — we cap each of our APP modules. For more information about APP, please join our listserv for updates.

“We went through a Roadmap exercise that was really instrumental in helping me frame what I wanted to do after school and to frame what programs would best fit my career goals. This helped me to rank my schools based on my professional goals. ” -Thandi G.

We recommend prospective APP students take the “Student Self-Assessment for Online Learning Readiness” designed by Penn State Learning Design Community Hub.

This particular version of the tool analyzes the following:

  • Self-direction
