Peterson's Graduate Schools in the U.S. 2011 is the "snapshot" version of Peterson's Graduate & Professional Programs: An Overview (book one of the six-volume Grad series). This book includes articles with information on how to finance a graduate education, tips on choosing the right program, and why accreditation is important. It has up-to-date information on hundreds of U.S. institutions that offer master's and doctoral degree programs in a wide range of fields—from accounting to zoology—with facts and figures on enrollment, faculty, computer and library facilities, expenses, and contact information. The program listings are searchable by state or field and includes an alphabetical school index.
