Website lists grad program info
By BRIAN BLAIR

If you are preparing to graduate and unsure about how to acquire information on graduate schools, there is a new web site that can help.
Gradschools.com is a website that acts as a one-stop source for post-baccalaureate degree program information. Potential graduate students can search from more than 100 curriculum categories ranging from Accounting to Zoology. Each category contains listings of institutions from around the world offering programs in that field.
"Gradschools.com is a user friendly, comprehensive source of information ... our service is easy to find, simple to use, always open and always free," said Mark Shay, president of Liberty City Promotions, a marketing firm from Aston, Penn.
"We have created a simple yet incredibly powerful directory which simplifies the search process. Our purpose is to provide all of the information a prospective student needs in a useful format," Shay said.
The site contains more than 12,000 listings of individual graduate programs at more than 2,000 institutions from around the world. Some listings offer detailed information on graduate programs, others do not. However, each listing contains contact information, including e-mail and fax numbers when available.
"There is enough on there for somebody to go and make an intelligent decision about where they are going to go to school," Shay said.
Gradschools.com provides free listings for academic institutions and allows them to purchase links to their own web sites.
Shay said the site will be continuously changed and updated to allow for new graduate programs and other information that may be useful to students pursuing post graduate possibilities.
"We are currently working on expanding our curriculum list and further defining the curriculum available on the site, especially in some of the biomedical fields."
Gradschools.com is modeled after studyabroad.com (http://studyabroad.com/), Liberty City's international education website.
The complete World Wide Web address for the Gradschools.com site is http://www.gradschools.com.
