Support the Graduate College
Dear Alumni and Friends,
Whether someone is mid-career and looking to augment their current skill set, strategizing how to earn that promotion or pay raise, exploring what it would take to make a career change, or are fresh out of an undergraduate program — pursuing a graduate degree holds unlimited potential for anyone willing and eager to put in the time and effort.
Graduate programs are not one-size-fits-all and frequently bring together groups and populations of students who have various social identities, backgrounds, and levels of expertise. This diverse setting makes for a dynamic learning environment where everyone’s individual experiences contribute to discussion, exploration, and expansion of thought.
Â鶹¹û¶³, with its eight-campus system in Northeast Ohio, prepares students for creative, scholarly, research and professional careers, with extensive graduate studies programs featuring more than 120 master’s degree options, 50 doctoral degree options, 45 certificates, and 40 non-degree options. A few of our newest post-degree programs include: the Ed.D. in Leadership (fully online), Master of Aviation, Master of Library information Systems, and Master of Fashion Industry Studies.
We are honored to serve our talented students, and very grateful for our many generous donors. Together, we can shape the future – with an investment that will transform lives and make an impact in our region and our world.
Sincerely,
The Graduate College
