The fair will offer information about the U of M’s 25 doctoral degrees, 54 master’s degrees, 21 graduate certificates, and the education specialist degree. Prospective students can also meet and talk with graduate faculty and students, learn about financial aid and scholarship/fellowship programs, and apply on-site for graduate school at the University of Memphis.

U of M President Shirley Raines and Provost Ralph Faudree will be on hand to present door prizes.

The event is free and open to the public. Parking is available in the Zach Curlin garage adjacent to the Rose Theatre.
