The University of Chicago is hosting the Discover UChicago program, an expenses-paid visit weekend occurring October 20-22 for candidates traditionally underrepresented in their fields planning to apply to graduate school in the fall of 2016.

There will be workshops on applying to graduate school, individual meetings with faculty, opportunities to connect with current UChicago students, as well as exploring  the community and city of Chicago.

Students who are interested in doctoral programs in the arts and sciences, social service administration, and business, as well as master’s programs in the majority of the University of Chicago’s schools and divisions are encouraged to apply online.
