You can choose from traditional on-campus programs, fully online programs, or hybrid programs that blend both. Each format offers distinct benefits and challenges, and understanding these can help you make an informed decision about the best learning environment for you. In this guide, we’ll break down the pros and cons of each modality, with insights and statistics to help you find the format that aligns with your academic, personal, and professional goals.

Here’s what you need to know about the culture, expectations, and dynamics of graduate school to help you succeed in this new academic environment.
The decision to pursue a graduate degree is a significant investment in your future, one that can open doors to advanced career opportunities, increased earnings, and specialized expertise. However, the financial commitment required can be daunting. In a recent EAB survey of 6,000+ graduate students and adult learners, findings highlighted that financial assistance (scholarships and financial aid) were one of the most important factors when making an enrollment decision. Similarly, cost is the primary reasons survey participants indicated they choose not so continue their higher education. Graduate school is often more expensive than undergraduate studies, and while financial aid is available, navigating the options requires careful planning. In this guide, we’ll discuss key considerations when evaluating the cost of graduate school and exploring financial aid options, helping you make informed decisions to reduce the financial burden.
