Attend an Event
Attending one of our events is a great way to get information about graduate programs at Grand Valley. Whether you want general graduate school information, details pertaining to a specific program, or just want to see what GVSU has to offer, we have what you are looking for below.
Area of Interest Sessions
For program specific advising or information about graduate assistantships, we recommend you contact your graduate program of interest or start by scheduling an appointment with our Graduate Admissions team. We’ll go over information about GVSU, any questions you may have about the application, financial aid and financing your degree, and any other topics you want to cover.
Graduate School Events
Learn the ins-and-outs of obtaining a graduate degree, badge, or certificate. These online events vary from session-to-session and cover topics, such as choosing the right program, financial aid opportunities, navigating the application process, tips on furthering your education, and more. One-on-one sessions are also available if you would like something more personal.
Graduate Fairs
Grand Valley attends multiple graduate fairs throughout the year. This is a great way to get program information and ask questions.
Not Finding What You're Looking For?
You can make an individual appointment! Prospective graduate students are encouraged to visit campus or schedule an individual appointment with our Graduate Admissions office. All appointments will cover information about the university, specific questions about the application, and financial aid/financing your degree. Prospective graduate students who wish to meet with a graduate program directly are encouraged to contact specific graduate programs for more information regarding visit opportunities.
