Graduate School for HDFS Majors
A recent survey of University of Wisconsin-Madison HDFS alumni found that more than half of HDFS graduates either had or were pursuing a graduate degree within 3 years of earning their B. S. degrees. Many of our students would like information and direction regarding finding a graduate program that matches their needs and guidance regarding their applications to graduate school. In addition to speaking with your mentor and attending graduate school fairs and panels offered by UW, SoHE, and HDFS, we recommend perusal of the following websites.
