What We're All About!

SGSR Past and  Present

The Division of Graduate Studies was established in 1957 and was elevated to the School of Graduate Studies and Research  in 1987. Currently, the school gives high priority to the development of sponsored research and the research interests of individual faculty members.


To aid the development of research and other grant proposals, we provide technical assistance, dissemination of requests for proposals and editorial consultation. In certain instances, we will develop and write grant proposals, and we also maintain contact with private corporations and foundations, as well as local, state and national governmental agencies, in pursuit of support for our research programs.
