Master's, PhD, or Professional Degree: Which Graduate Path Is Right for You?
April 14, 2026 9:00 am EDT

Choosing between a Master's, PhD, and a professional degree is one of the biggest decisions in your academic career — and each path leads to very different outcomes. Gabriel Luis from Vanderbilt University will break down how these programs differ in structure, length, funding models, and career trajectories. You'll learn what admissions committees expect at each level and how to figure out which option truly matches your goals.

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​The session will also cover what makes U.S. graduate education distinct and how international students can use that to their advantage. If you're weighing your graduate options, this webinar will help you choose with clarity.
