An “Advanced Degree Seeker” is someone who has completed undergraduate studies or fundamental professional credential programs and desires an advanced degree or certification.

Potential personae or archetypes include:

• Nursing students and other healthcare professionals

• Business students (seeking, e.g, an MBA)

• Law students (seeking, e.g., a JD. LLM, MSL, etc.)

• Med and dental students (seeking, e.g., an MD, DMD, DO)

This ticket represents the work to develop features and source data to support users seeking an advanced degree.

On preliminary analysis, it seems likely that “Advanced Degree Seekers” will be split into distinct Personae, features, web pages, and scholarship sets. For example, a student with a BA seeking an MBA has a universe of programs that looks very different from the Universe of programs serving students seeking an advanced nursing certification. If that turns out to be the case, close this ticket and create separate tickets for each individual Persona.
