There is no doubt that our futures will include the web. Computer and internet
classes have become an everyday part of our academic life. An increasing number
of our fellow students are taking classes via the internet. And we all routinely
turn to the internet to conduct research for our homework assignments.
There is also help here for students seeking admission to graduate
schools. They will find great links to learn more about the GRE, GMAT, MBA
programs, and more. And, we will take you to the best free
scholarship search services on the internet.
If you would like to nominate a site, if you
are interested in sponsoring this page for a month or more, or if you have
feedback of any kind, we would be delighted to have you contact
us.
