Admissions
Join a diverse community of scholars researching, learning, and exploring in more than 150 academic programs. We’ll help you find your graduate program and show you the next steps to apply.
Our Commitment to our Graduate Community
The Division of Graduate Studies believes:
- Every graduate student deserves a space in which to experience and express their personal identity, contribute to knowledge, and pursue their scholarship in good conscience.
- At its very best, graduate education occurs in a community; a shared place where each individual feels they can belong, participate, and thrive.
- Diversity presents itself in many forms—socioeconomic status, race, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual orientation, nationality or place of origin, disability, unique work or life experience, and more—creating a rich, complex tapestry of personal backgrounds that interweave to form our vibrant community.
- The goals of advancing equity and inclusion are to diversify our learning community and promote our excellence and innovation. We expect that an equitable, inclusive, and diverse graduate community will lead to increased enrollment, retention, and graduation across the entire university community.

Our commitment to diversity begins at recruitment. We partner with our schools and programs to identify, attract, and develop the most talented scholars representing as many viewpoints, backgrounds, and life experiences as possible. We aspire to be an inclusive community in which individuals of every nationality, religion, gender, race/ethnicity, sexual orientation, ability, political viewpoint, socioeconomic status, and veteran status can flourish.
