  • Welcome from the Dean

    One of the premier centers for graduate education, research, scholarship, and creative activity in the United States, the University of Maryland houses over 200 graduate degree programs, including 83 doctoral programs, enrolling nearly 11,000 students from every state in the union and from around the globe. The University confers approximately 600 doctoral degrees and 2,200 masters degrees annually.

    The Graduate School has recently launched a number of exciting and innovative new initiatives, including new fellowship and training grant opportunities for doctoral students, and has collaborated with several of the University’s colleges and programs in advancing equally innovative initiatives related to specific disciplines. I invite you to investigate some of these initiatives by clicking on Recent Developments.

    If you are currently a graduate student at the University of Maryland, the Graduate School looks forward to continuing to provide you outstanding support and services. If you are a prospective member of our graduate community, we encourage you to explore the University of Maryland with us to see if we are the institution that will best help you to realize your personal and professional goals.
