Graduate School of Duke University

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Graduate School of Duke University in Durham, North Carolina, United States, is currently one of ten colleges and schools that comprise the university. Established in 1926, the Graduate School offers the degrees of Master of Arts, Master of Science, Master of Arts in Teaching, Master of Public Policy, and the Doctor of Philosophy, as well as various certificate programs.

The Graduate School is administered by a dean, who with the advice an Executive Committee of the Graduate Faculty, coordinates the graduate offerings of all departments in the Arts and Sciences, the non-professional degree programs of the professional schools of divinity, law, business, environment and earth sciences, the basic science departments of the School of Medicine, and certain professionally oriented graduate programs as well. The Graduate School currently enrolls approximately 2,220 students. At Duke, the graduate faculty (currently numbering 1,000) consists of all members of the university faculty who have been so desiginated by their respective departments or schools and approved by the dean of the Graduate School.

Originally called the "Graduate School of Arts and Sciences," in the mid-1960s the Duke University Board of Trustees changed the name to "The Graduate School" to better reflect the school's responsibilities for graduate education outside of Arts and Sciences. Accordingly, since that time, the dean of the Graduate School has concurrently held the title of vice provost.
