Take advantage of this opportunity to speak one-on-one with faculty and staff representing the program of interest to you.<\/p>\n<p>Grad Fair is an open-house style event for the public to learn more about the University\u2019s nearly 200 graduate programs which include Master\u2019s, Doctoral, and Specialist programs as well as graduate certificates. Graduate Admissions and Financials staff will also be on hand to discuss the variety of admissions options that UCF College of Graduate Studies offers, as well as information on the fellowships, assistantships, and financial aid. And, there will be lots of merchants there with spectacular giveaways!<\/p>\n<p>If you are thinking about advancing your career with a graduate degree, do not wait any longer. Between now and 2020, an estimated six million jobs will be created, and they will require a graduate degree, according to a recent report from the Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce. Individuals who hold graduate degree earn about 30 percent more annually than individuals with a baccalaureate degree alone, according to another study by the U.S. Census Bureau.<\/p>\n<p>Be sure to clear your schedule for Grad Fair this Wednesday, September 11, from 4:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. in the Pegasus Ballroom at the Student Union of UCF\u2019s main campus.
