Here are some suggestions:
Talk with English faculty. They will be your most important resource in making this decision.
Talk with English graduate
students
.
You can connect with UW graduate students in English through the English Graduate
Student Organization (GSO). You can also review resources they've put together
on the PhD program at the ENGL
GSO wiki site.
Talk
with academic and pre-professional advisers. English
undergraduate advisers are located in A-2-B Padelford Hall. Pre-professional advisers (for pre-law,
pre-med,
pre-vet,
pre-dental students) are available in 171
Mary Gates Hall.
Consider your career options. English Advising has a site for Career Information for English majors; it's possible that you don't need a graduate degree as a credential for the kind of work you want to do.
Attend faculty lectures and seminars on campus. The English Department maintains
a site for
lectures and events.
You can also watch for posters and handbills on doorways and in elevators in
Padelford Hall. Some lectures and events are publicized by e-mail to undergraduates
through the englmajors
e-mail list.
The UW also maintains a calendar
of events organized by general categories.
Read scholarly publications. English Graduate Studies maintains a listed of resources
and publications.
The UW Library System also maintains a web page of English
Studies
resources.
Consult the UW
Career Center's Graduate School pages.
