The mission of the School of Graduate Studies and Research (SGSR) is to work collaboratively with all academic units to educate and train future scholars, teachers, researchers and professionals and to produce knowledge and research in the fields and areas in which they will work.
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.
