The mission of the Office of Graduate Studies is to provide resources, services and
leadership that support and guide the graduate academic programs across the university.
The Office of Graduate Studies offers more than 80 degree and certificate programs
in the fields of business, education, fine arts and communication, health professions,
liberal arts, science and mathematics. Both full and part-time programs are available,
led by prominent faculty who combine theory and applied, practical knowledge while
encouraging collaboration on research projects and creative productions. With more
than 3,200 students enrolled, Towson University graduate programs create a rich learning
environment complemented by diverse perspectives and experiences.
Towson University is committed to preparing ethically and globally minded professionals
who become leaders within their community and field of study. Our graduate students
come from diverse backgrounds. Their goal is to advance their knowledge and skills
to become professionals who serve as leaders for Maryland and surrounding communities,
and many juggle work and family responsibilities while earning their graduate degrees.
For some, the graduate degree is essential for procuring jobs in their chosen field.
