Graduate StudiesThe Office of Graduate Studies oversees the more than 70 master's programs and 17 doctoral programs at PSU; over 1,100 graduate degrees are awarded annually. We are the principal resource for students and faculty regarding advanced degree requirements, degree status, petition procedures, thesis and dissertation preparation, and final oral examinations. The office monitors the academic standing of admitted graduate students and the eligibility of graduate assistants. Students admitted to the graduate programs who wish to graduate must submit required documentation to our office within the stated guidelines for each term. NEW - Electronic Thesis and Dissertation SubmissionThe Office of Graduate Studies is beginning the transition from paper to electronic submission of theses and dissertations. Limited, voluntary electronic submission will begin in Summer 2009 and will be gradually expanded during the 2009-2010 academic year. We are currently working with departments to identify students to pilot the new system (we are not soliciting student volunteers directly). We plan to be fully transitioned to a mandatory electronic submission process by the beginning of the 2010-2011 academic year. Graduate Degree Information:
