Graduate School

Graduate School

WSU offers the widest range of graduate degree choices in the area, including 12 doctoral programs, more than 40 master’s degree options, one education specialist area and a growing number of graduate certificate programs.  

Each of the programs within the Graduate School prepares students to be immediately successful in their chosen disciplines by providing professional training and the opportunity to use classroom learning to solve real-world problems.  

Many of these experiences are enabled by the Graduate School Shocker Fund, which provides funding for areas of need within the college. These unrestricted dollars support graduate research, conference registration fees, travel and more for students within the college.  

Another great way to support the college is by supporting the Graduate School need-based scholarships. Far more students apply for financial aid each year than WSU has resources to help. This fund will help us reach more students. 

Your gift can help create opportunities for students!
