GRADUATE DIVISION

David L. Rowland, Ph.D., Dean

    The program of graduate studies was initiated by Valparaiso University in 1963 to serve a variety of educational needs, including those of residents of Northwest Indiana. The schedule of courses is structured to meet the needs of part-time and most full-time students.

    More than 1700 students have received a master's degree since the inception of this program. Since many of these alumni reside and work in Northern Indiana, the University has, through this program, made a major contribution to the life of the larger community in which it lives.

    The following degrees are offered: Master of Arts with concentrations in Counseling and Clinical Mental Health Counseling; Master of Education and Master of Science in Special Education; Education Specialist in School Psychology; Master of Music; Master of Science in Nursing; and Master of Arts in Liberal Studies with concentrations in English, Ethics and Values, History, Human Behavior and Society, Theology, Theology and Ministry and U.S. Culture. Details concerning these and other postgraduate non-degree programs may be found in the Graduate Division Bulletin, which may be obtained by contacting the Graduate Division, Valparaiso University.

    The graduate programs are under the general supervision of the Provost and the Faculty of the University. Its policies are defined by the Graduate Council and are administered by the Dean of the Graduate Division.
