institutions world-wide.
GRADSCHOOLS.COM provides a one-stop source for post-baccalaureate degree program

100 curriculum categories ranging from Accounting to Zoology. Each category
contains listings of institutions from around the world which offer programs in
that field. GRADSCHOOLS.COM provides free listings for academic institutions.

free listings are what make the service a comprehensive information source.
In addition to the free listings, GRADSCHOOLS.COM allows the institutions to
purchase links to their own web sites and banner advertising on the system. The
system will be supported through advertising from the schools and related
services such as test prep services. The is available free of charge to the

GRADSCHOOLS.COM is a user friendly, comprehensive source of information,
according to Mark Shay, president of Liberty City Promotions. We have created a
simple yet incredibly powerful directory which simplifies the search process.
When Internet users try to find graduate school information using the popular web
search sites, they get back a great deal of unorganized, often irrelevant
clutter. Our purpose is to provide all of the information a prospective student
needs in a useful format. Shay said We cut right to the point. Our service is
easy to find, simple to use, always open, always free and full of useful
information.
GRADSCHOOLS.COM is modeled after studyabroad.com (http://www.studyabroad.com/),
Liberty City's successful international education web site. studyabroad.com has
been in operation for 18 months and provides information to an average of 7,000
users each week.
