Comprehensive Graduate School Plan
With the Comprehensive Graduate School Plan, students have a personal advisor from International College Counselors taking them through the entire admission process. Expert educational consultants help students applying to professional schools (i.e., Med, Vet, Dental, DO, and Law), business schools (MBA), doctoral programs (PhD, PsyD, etc.), masters programs (i.e., MA, MEd, MPH, MPP, Post-Bacc/Med, MFA, Architecture), and other graduate programs. In this plan, we provide the following:
