School of Graduate Studies

Forge a brighter future.

When you give to the School of Graduate Studies (SGS), you strengthen the value of a Rowan University advanced degree.

The School of Graduate Studies was created to provide specialized support for Rowan graduate students for our 70 master's degree programs, professional programs, and more than 15 doctoral programs. The SGS provides academic services, including thesis and dissertation support, and research services for graduate students and post-docs. The SGS also hosts graduate student-centered programming and is building a graduate community along with the leadership of their Graduate Student Government Association.

A gift to the School of Graduate Studies provides enhanced support, additional programming and a common community among all of our graduate students across all disciplines.
