​​Elevating academic excellence and embracing a culture of creativity and discovery is a key strategic pillar for the University; our graduate students experience this every day. Our colleges and departments have outstanding research facilities and opportunities for conducting graduate-level research. Doctoral students in Research-Scholarship programs undergo a rigorous research curriculum to help them excel at both teaching and research. Masters students can engage in the research process through independent studies, thesis-based courses, and interning with faculty as a research assistant. ​
