Programs and Services

Professional and Graduate School Planning (PGSP) offers a variety of programs and services to assist students in applying to professional and graduate programs.

• Individual Advising Appointments: Students can meet with the PGSP counselor to discuss plans for graduate study, set up an action plan, and review details of the application process. To schedule an appointment, please call 775-784-4678.
• Walk-In Appointments: The PGSP counselor has walk-in appointments every Monday, 1-3pm. Session are 15 minutes in length and are intended for quick questions only.
• PGSP Workshops: Throughout the year, PGSP conducts workshop to assist students in the graduate/professional school application process. The schedule is available in our department in 200 Thompson or at http://www.unr.edu/career/students/pgsp_workshops.aspx
• Graduate/Professional School Resource Library: Located in Career Development, 200 Thompson, the Library contains books and catalogs for student to use in learning more about graduate admissions and researching programs in their field of interest; the books can be checked out by UNR students.
• Critique Services: Writing the personal statement is often the most difficult part of the application process for students. To assist in this endeavor, the PGSP counselor will review statements and provide feedback for students; we will also critique resumes for use in graduate school applications.
• Mock Interviews: Some graduate/professional programs require interviews as part of the application process. Students may schedule a mock interview to practice before the "real thing" and receive constructive feedback on their performance to help improve their interviewing skills. To set up a mock interview, please call us at 775-784-4678.
• Letters of Recommendation Service (LRS): We offer the LRS which stores, duplicates and submits your letters of recommendation to the schools to which you are applying. For more information about the service, contact our office or go to http://www.unr.edu/career/student/pgsp_lrs.aspx
• Professional & Graduate School Fair: Every September PGSP hosts the school fair providing students with an opportunity to meet with admissions representatives from various programs throughout the country. Programs from varied fields of study are represented, and include graduate programs in the arts and sciences, law, business and health professions. For more information about the fair go to http://www.unr.edu/career/students/pgsp_fair.aspx
