Specializations and Professional
Associations
Choosing the right specialization
is an important first step in pursuit of your advanced degree; memberships in
professional associations can help to establish connections with other
scholar-practitioners.
To prepare for this assignment:
Review the Web sites that relate
to your particular specialization.
Review the Web sites of at least
one other specialization that may be similar to your professional interests.
Think about your choice of
specialization and how it fits with what you read on the professional Web
sites.
The assignment:
Write a two-page summary of why
you chose the specialization you did. How does it fit with your personal and
professional goals? What opportunities for professional association are
available in your specialization? How will you involve yourself in the
professional organization(s) associated with your intended specialization while
you are at the University?
Support your Application
