Social Sciences Graduate Studies Office
The Graduate Studies Office is proud to support the research, teaching and service
mission of the School of Social Sciences by providing a comprehensive range of educational
support services for prospective and enrolled students.
We are dedicated to the philosophy of achieving success by working cooperatively,
with high-quality, responsive service to all. We serve as the School-level place of
approval for all admission decisions, financial support and student employment matters.
We are a resource for funding opportunities for enrolled students. We play a coordinating
role between central administration, the Social Sciences graduate student population
and the School's departments and programs.
The Graduate Office provides general educational counseling. You can count on us for knowledgeable advice and direction as you work toward completing degree requirements. We collaborate closely with faculty and administrative support staff in departments, so you can be assured that our information is consistent with policies and regulations in place in your academic unit.
We are available by email, phone, Zoom, or in-person by appointment. We are happy
to help bring your academic plans to fruition.
