Further Your Education
Have you considered attending graduate school? Beyond increased earning potential, an advanced degree or certificate can open the door to a host of professional opportunities. Especially during a time of economic uncertainty, having a master’s degree will give you a competitive advantage over those who have only an associate or bachelor’s degree.
We even offer a special scholarship for recently graduated seniors:
You can choose from more than 35 graduate degree and certificate programs in business, education, technology, sport administration and health. Many of these degree programs don’t require the GRE or GMAT for admission.
A Year of Service
Maybe you’re feeling called to do something very different with your life right now. Why not consider a year of service? You’ll be able to build on the transformative experiences you received through your Jesuit education at Canisius. Choose from a variety of government, secular and faith-based volunteer opportunities. Then go out into the world and have an immediate impact—and learn more about yourself in the process.
Postbaccalaureate Fellowships and Scholarships
Resources are available for students and, in some cases, alumni seeking to apply for highly competitive, prestigious merit-based national and international grants and fellowships.
Whatever path you choose, stay in touch. And know that you'll always have a home here at Canisius!
