CANYON, Texas — Potential students interested in graduate studies in West Texas A&M University’s College of Education and Social Sciences may win an application fee waiver by registering for an upcoming event.
The College and the WT Graduate School will host virtual open houses at 6 p.m. March 3 and noon March 4.
Those who register by March 1 will be entered in a drawing to win an application fee waiver from the Graduate School.
Attendees will learn about the highly competitive programs in the College, including education, political science, criminal justice, psychology, sociology and social work. They also will meet with Dr. Eddie Henderson, the College’s dean, as well as program advisers.
Potential students also will learn about the admissions process, the applicant portal and funding opportunities, including scholarships and federal need-based aid.
“The College of Education and Social Sciences excels in the preparation of the education workforce, school psychologists and social work professionals, and in helping students find success in graduate programs in psychology, sociology, criminal justice, emergency management administration, political science and public service administration,” Henderson said. “Our faculty members are eager to advise and mentor aspiring graduate students to prepare them for careers in schools, public works, legal fields and a variety of other areas.”

This event helps focus WT’s graduate academics on regional opportunities, a key maxim in the University’s long-range plan, WT 125: From the Panhandle to the World.
That plan is fueled by the historic, $125 million One West comprehensive fundraising campaign. To date, the five-year campaign — which publicly launched Sept. 23 — has raised more than $85 million.
