Welcome Graduate Students!

Dear Graduate Students, Faculty and Visitors to our site:

It is a pleasure and an honor to welcome you to another exciting academic year. This fall we are enrolling 2,899 students in more than 70 professional degrees, masters programs, MFAs, as well as 6 PhD programs offering education and research opportunities in many cutting edge areas of scholarship and research. We are involved with students through more than sixty different government agencies, universities and organizations abroad.

The Office of Graduate Studies is here to help faculty and graduate students succeed in their programs of study, research and creative endeavors. We also look forward to helping all of you develop novel partnerships among ourselves as well as with the community and the private sector. Throughout the year, our office sponsors workshops on career preparation, teaching and grant writing for both students and faculty. We are also very proud of our annual Graduate Research Symposia, offered every summer to highlight the successes and scholarly results of our students and faculty. We will also continue to hold social events to provide informal venues for further interaction and development of new partnerships and ideas.

We are always available to meet your needs, learn of your successes, and listen to your concerns and ideas. Have a wonderful academic year!

Sincerely,
Hector E. Flores, Ph.D.
