The Graduate College collaborates with academic colleges across campus to empower over 3,500 students in more than 200 different programs- including graduate certificates, master’s, specialist, and doctoral degrees. With the recent approval for Missouri State University to offer research doctorates, the Graduate College continues to elevate research while remaining focused on supporting students at every stage of their academic journey and equipping students to be leaders in their chosen fields.
From admission to graduation, the Graduate College supports students through scholarships, research funding, and professional development opportunities. We facilitate the awarding of graduate student scholarships and funding associated with research and travel to professional conferences. We also partner with Graduate Student Senate to ensure we are responsive to the needs of our students.
Giving Day 2026 offers a unique opportunity to support the Graduate College expand opportunities for graduate student success. Your donation to Graduate College funds goes directly to students and their research, increasing the impact of graduate education.
