The Graduate School at UNC Greensboro (UNCG) is responsible for the welfare of all the graduate programs on campus and over 3700 graduate students who come to UNCG from across the nation and around the world. The University is organized into seven disciplinary units: College of Arts and Science; College of Visual and Performing Arts; Joseph M. Bryan School of Business and Economics; School of Education; School of Health and Human Sciences; Joint School of Nanoscience and Nanoengineering; and School of Nursing.
The Graduate School has general supervision of graduate study throughout the colleges and schools. The University offers 74 master’s and 32 doctoral programs in addition to more than 50 graduate certificate programs. Each of these programs is described in detail in the UNCG Catalog. The Dean of the Graduate School is the chief administrative officer of the Graduate School, taking general responsibility for the development, improvement, and administration of all graduate study at the University. The Dean of the Graduate School serves as admissions officer and administers services to graduate students and programs. All matters of policy, procedures, and graduate curriculum are developed, approved, and implemented in consultation with programs and the Graduate Council.
