Graduate School

Graduate School Programs constitute a level or stage of academic work that is considered an advanced program of study. It focuses on a particular or interdisciplinary academic discipline or profession and involves certain objective-options such as:

1. rigorous evaluation of work and interaction with professors and peers

2. professional experience via internships, teaching, and research.

3. production of original research or creative work.

Across all orientations and levels of graduate work, the ultimate goal is to contribute to the process of knowledge acquisition, generation, sharing, and exchange that is distinct from the baccalaureate level.

The general outcomes of graduate programs are the mastery of a specialized field of study, the development of original and critical thinking, and the demonstration of problem-solving skills that prepare the degree holder for advanced instruction and leadership positions in the areas of research, creative work, as well as the practice of his or her profession.
