Should I apply to graduate school straight from my undergraduate institution or should I take time to work for a year or two?

When weighing the decision to apply to graduate school straight from your undergraduate institution or gain work experience, it is a good idea to research the programs you are interested in applying to. Some programs will find work experience quite beneficial, some may require a minimum number of years of work experience, while still others may say that work experience is completely unnecessary. I highly recommend contacting the program coordinators for the program you are interested in as the are invaluable resources when it comes to knowing exactly what makes a competitive applicant.
