Graduate Studies

Academic excellence is at the forefront of everything we do.

Students who graduate from GSU emerge as professionals who are prepared to become effective leaders and meet the demands of an ever-changing global society.

From our passionate, engaging and dedicated faculty, to our brand new, state-of-the-art laboratories and classrooms, to our broad and distinctive range of academic study — the world of graduate studies at GSU has never looked better or brighter. Nor has the value of a graduate degree ever been greater.

Explore all the wonderful possibilities available to you as a doctoral, master’s degree, or post-graduate certificate seeking student at GSU.

If you have questions about our programs, please contact Jason Vignone, Director of Graduate Admissions and Retention.  For information about Graduate Studies policies or procedures, please visit Dr. Andrae Marak, Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, Graduate Studies, and Chair of the Graduate Council, at his faculty directory page.

Excellence in Graduate Studies is cultivated in part by the Graduate Council.  The G.C. is a consultative body comprised of passionate, dedicated faculty and staff from throughout the university, who develop, research and recommend policy with the core values of academic excellence, educational opportunity and diversity at the forefront.  For a closer look at the scope and character of Graduate Studies, you may review GSU Policy 16 here.  Additionally, you may review the Graduate Capstone Handbook here.
