This is the best grad school directory I have found on the web. With your service, I spent minutes doing research that may have taken me days at a library.

One thing you might emphasize with participating universities -- the schools I was most likely to request catalogues for were the ones who provided a one or two sentence description of the grad program and an e-mail address. Both implied the school's good organization, excellent service and a committment to progress in our changing society.

Thank you,
Valerie Ebner

Hello, my name is Darshan. I discovered your website a few minutes again, and while I enjoy the possibilities, I would love to see other search possibilities like location and size. Also, I would love to be able to combine the searches. For example, I wish to study African and Caribbean History. I would love to see a listing for all schools within Africa, the Caribbean, as well as the States with classes less than fifty. Just wanted to pass that along.

Thanks for providing the service.

Good morning from San Jose, CA.

I am not speechless but this site is excellent!!! It took several searches before I popped-up on my screen. I was at the sites of CSWE and of NASW but there are no 'hot' links to any sites like this one. Have you attempted to get a link on either of their pages?

I appreciate the service that you provide. Finding, applying, and deciding on a Grad. School is very time consuming, but you make it much easier to do.

Thanks,

Subject: Many Thanks!

I just wanted to thank you for a web page that has been more of a help to me in looking for graduate schools than anything else I've found on the Web to date. Most of the searches I've done have turned up only undergraduate schools, and the few that provided grad school links didn'te seem to have any way to search by topic. I've made a bookmark to your page, and once I've narrowed my choices of schools down some, I intend to go back and use the financial aid information you've provided...something else I've not been able to find anywhere else.

Thank you again...

Sincerely,
Veronica D. Fullard

To whom it may concern

I just wanted to comment on the excellent website you all put out. I found every school I was looking for in the field of sociology. Luckily I came across your site while browsing, or I would still be searching.

Thanks for the site

This website is incredibly helpful! Thanks so very much--I have spent many, many hours doing research on the web in the last year and have just come across your site for the first time. You should advertise this site more abundantly! It is such a great site! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Thank you!! Your on-line service is wonderful. I was able to quickly search my particular areas of interest (History/American Studies), and locate graduate schools in the western United States which offer programs of study in these fields. Your service has saved me a lot of time and money. I particularly appreciated the e-mail addresses for these schools - I am now able to quickly and easily request info about each program. Thanks again! MK

Hello:

I would like to thank you for your web site. I have spent the last four months trudging through college reference books (boring) and surfing the net for any and all information on graduate programs through distant learning. Although your site is in it's infancy, I can definitley tell that it will be an invaluable resource for "rural" communities, I live in Valdez Alaska, and of course anyone looking for an easy to find and use resource!! Good Luck!

Dear people out there who have made life easier,

As I was searching the net trying to find which universities had a phd in statistics, I bumped into your page. I must confess that I have been at other university home pages with links to stats programs and so on, but this has made my life so much easier. Now I know where to start and how to start searching. Since tonight it has been a stomachache that I could not get over. Thank you very very much for such a site. Especially for people who want to apply from abroad and from a country like Turkey this is a wonderful oppurtunity in every way. Please allow me to thank everyone who is involved in making this site available.

p.s. I have one major question though which one of these schools would be a better one in terms of quality? That is one of my major handicaps. I would be very happy if you could help me. Thank you very much.

Subject: Your site

Thank you thank you thank you...

I was becoming increasingly frustrated because of the lack of adequate "searchability" within a graduate school info-base. Your free form search allowed for my very specific needs to be met (I guess not everyone is cramming onto the net in search of violent crime victim intervention in the forensic psychology setting!) I was pleased to find several schools with appropriate programs. Thanks again for such a logical and user-friendly set-up!

Subject: Great website

To the Gradschools.com team - Great website. I'm a website owner, entrepreneur myself - working in Germany and trying to help my husband find a graduate program stateside in Communications/Mass Media. I can't tell you how much time I've wasted looking for a comprehensive list of graduate schools and their programs. Your website boiled it all down to a matter of two clicks, with the most accurate listing of program topics I've found to date. Congratulations and job well done.

Thank you, Michele

btw: I found you through the Lycos best-of education page.

"After researching many web sites that advertised graduate schools and programs, 'gradschools.com' was the one that, in my estimation, provides the best and most accurate and easy to use services of them all. The managers of this website clearly have the best understanding of hypermedia, because they have thought through the users interest in getting quickly to the information for which the user would be searching, and with plenty of back-links too. As a subscriber, working with 'gradschools.com' has been a pleasure because they do what you ask them too, and it works, rather than what others have done, namely to say they have done something for you that they haven't actually done."

From: Drina Lynch, Assistant Dean, Graduate Studies, Central Connecticut State University, New Britain, CT

In behalf of the Dean of Graduate Studies and our institution as a whole, I would like to express our deepest appreciation to all of you at Liberty City for your patience, cooperation, understanding, and support during the past few weeks as we have submitted informa- tion about Central Connecticut State University to your website. You provide a well-designed, captivating, and high quality service to prospective graduate students while allowing any participating institution the capability of adding or changing needed information in a creative way at no cost. For those of us with limited budgets, a short recruitment staff, and busy public relations offices, you are truly wonderful.

As we develop our own Graduate School website, we hope to forge a stronger relationship with gradschools.com to include added enhancements such as links and pages. In any case, though, we would never be able to match your directory name--an attraction to prospective students in itself. Please keep in touch with us as you develop additional strategies for gradschools.com. You do exceptionally fine work.

We wish you much success as you continue to build your system and achieve your desired goals. It has been a pleasure working with you so far. We look forward to continuing our work with you in the future. Thanks, again, for your help to us here at Central Connecticut State!

Dear Mark:

We have received your email message of 3/14/97 (sorry took so long to reply) in regards to add our programs to your listings. I took the liberty to browse through your site and found that we are already listed. It seems that there needs to be no update at this point.

I found it to be a nice and very helpful on-line directory, in fact, as of this year we started keeping stats on where our request for information comes from and it seems that quite a few come from this directory. Keep up the good work!

Suzanne

Mark, your directory is certainly the best on the Web. I also wanted to indicate that I experimented with changing the text description for our college (Northwestern College of Chiropractic) and was extremely pleased to find that the modification program worked and the changes appeared in the listing. Thanks.
