Guidelines for Professional Goals

Your statement of professional goals should be a one to two page document that addresses the following:

  1. Your professional goals--i.e. What are your professional career aspirations? What do you plan to do with your degree when completed?
  2. What background experiences, events, and/or education have influenced your professional goals?
  3. How will enrolling in one of the Department's programs assist you in meeting your professional goals?
  4. Which faculty members do you have a particular interest in working with? Why?
