Planning to apply to graduate school programs (Master's or Ph.D.) in the Humanities & Social Sciences?
This workshop will outline the standard expectations for the Personal Statement/ Statement of Purpose typically requested of applicants for advanced degrees in the Humanities & Social Sciences (HU/SS). With models from various disciplines and a review of best practices, this workshop will demystify these documents and provide attendees with advice for strong applications. Tailored for upper-level HU/SS majors, students are encouraged to RSVP, where they may share draft documents or questions for workshopping.
