If you want advice about how to get a graduate degree, I recommend starting with Getting What You Came for: The Smart Student's Guide to Earning a Master's or a Ph.D. by Robert L. Peters ISBN: 0374524777. This book covers everything from how to select the right program for you, how to get in, how to pick a topic, how to write and how to manage your advisor. --CocoaZen 19:59, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
