Is it better to go to grad school at a different university than your undergrad?

Hello,

It depends on the industry and what the company that you inspire to work at values. For more prestigious, technical or academically driven positions, employers would prefer to see a different graduate school than your undergraduate degree. In most cases you can get a different perspective through the mission and philosophy of a different university. Some schools are more research based, private, liberal, technical. Christian, etc. It is always good to see a well-rounded applicant with different experiences.

Hi Mary! It depends on what you want to do. I did my grad and undergrad at the same institution and no one has every asked my why.
