Graduate and Professional School
A majority of Mount Holyoke graduates go on to study at the graduate level. Some apply and get accepted in their senior year, others wait for a year or more in order to gain experience or clarify their goals.
For an appointment to discuss your plans for graduate or professional school, please contact Elizabeth Mandeville, National Fellowships and Graduate School Advisor, by calling 413-538-3183 or by emailing mataylor@mtholyoke.edu.
