About the Graduate School

MU offers graduate students all the academic power that comes with its status as both a top-level research institution and a land-grant university.

In addition to overseeing all graduate programs on campus, the Graduate School maintains special academic programs and courses that emphasize interdisciplinary study and prepare many of our students to become the next generation of faculty. We also engage in initiative programs that help forward the mission of the Graduate School.
