The mission of the School of Graduate Studies is to provide excellent personalized support to graduate students in their pursuit of academic, research, creative, cultural, professional, and social development. Through support to our graduate programs, we aim to provide an academically rigorous learning environment that equips students to succeed in their careers and make meaningful contributions to their communities. We are dedicated to promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion in all that we do.  The School of Graduate Studies aims to provide supportive and collaborative academic environments that foster lifelong learning, critical thinking, and ethical leadership.

Vision Statement
The vision of the School of Graduate Studies is to be a premier source of graduate education information and resources to empower students and programs in advancing the research and scholarly capacity at Rowan University. We aim to do this in a way that broadens participation in graduate education, recognizes students’ unique needs and assets, and helps foster a culture of collaboration across disciplines and sectors to tackle complex challenges and meet societal needs. We envision a future in which our graduates are recognized as leaders and change-makers who transform their respective fields, inspire others to make a difference, and stay connected to our institution.
