The University of Illinois Springfield will hold a virtual Graduate School Week Sept. 27-Oct. 1, 2021. The week will give students who are thinking about earning a master’s degree a chance to learn more about UIS’ 54 graduate degrees.

“The week is a perfect opportunity for prospective students who want to learn more about continuing their education, or adding more skills for career advancement or changes,” said Kathryn Kleeman, UIS director of admissions. “Students who attend any event during the week won’t have to submit scores from any graduate admission exam, like the GMAT or GRE.”

UIS is also waiving all application fees through the 2022-23 academic year for all students who apply.

Each 20 to 30-minute webinar will connect prospective students with program faculty, admission counselors and assistantship representatives. Attendees will learn about the application process, program learning objectives, alumni success stories and paid assistantship and internship opportunities with tuition waivers.

Those interested can register for this free opportunity to learn about programs at uis.edu/grad-week. Even if calendar conflicts arise, registrants will receive a recording of the session.
