Thinking of Graduate School?
The Office of Graduate Studies is a campus unit designed to be the one-stop-shop for all things related to graduate studies. Many students don't realize that we also work with students well before they become graduate students. We are an office of experts in graduate education dedicated to supporting you to explore possibilities, apply, and progress into and through grad school and beyond.
Contact Us! Whether you are just beginning your exploration or you know where you want to go, Graduate Studies staff is happy to meet with you.
