什么是研究生院?
研究生 school constitutes an advanced program of study focused on a particular academic discipline or profession. 传统上, graduate school has been “academic” (centered on generating original research in a particular discipline), but it may be “professional” (centered on developing skills and knowledge for a specific profession), 或者两者的结合.

How is graduate school different from undergraduate education?
Compared to undergraduate studies, graduate school is a more concentrated course of study with greater expectations for the quality and quantity of your work. 研究生 programs also entail:
- focused studies in a specific discipline with fewer elective possibilities
- rigorous evaluation of your work by professors and peers
- smaller classes with much student interaction
- work experience via internships, teaching, or research
- production of original research
