Graduate Studies
Graduate Studies is the key to mastery of a profession or a discipline that can contribute to your own personal and career goals and also to the revitalization of Guam for the next several decades. As higher education increasingly turns to online venues, local universities are more and more critical to the process of mentoring students, personalizing their academic experiences, and maintaining the human factor.
The role of the Graduate Admissions Office is to administer graduate admissions and maintain the academic records of graduate students.
Graduate faculty at the University of Guam are among a broad network of colleagues, co-workers, friends, and family who will be part of your cohort for the rest of your working life. Graduate program coordinators and professors within each major provide students with advice and assistance with special problems.
Appeals, petitions, and requests for special consideration are handled by the vice provost of Academic Excellence, Graduate Studies, and Online Learning via the respective dean.
The vice provost shall coordinate graduate matters between college and school academic programs, the Graduate Admissions Office, and the RFK Library, which handles thesis and special project publication and archival.
