The Academic Fit
In selecting schools, the most important aspect of any school is its academic fit — that is, how well-suited the school is to the research you want to do. If you’re a prospective grad student in, say, philosophy, then it’s certainly a good idea to find out where the leading philosophy departments are; but to have a really good graduate experience, you need more than just a respected department. You need individuals on the faculty who share your research interests, and who will become involved in your work and involve you in their own. The importance of finding professors to work with varies according to your degree ambitions. If you’re looking for a master’s degree to round out your education or give you that professional edge, then the overall quality of the faculty may be more important to you than finding the ideal mentor. If you are decided on doctoral work and an academic career, however, then the specific research interests of professors become much more important. In either case, graduate work will always be more profitable and enjoyable if there are professors in your program who will take a personal interest in what you’re doing.
