Research and Experience are Key to an SU Graduate Degree

The University’s graduate programs are diverse and designed to support the individual academic and professional needs of each program’s participants. However, central to all the programs are student research and self-directed projects. From dissertation and thesis research to capstone classes or experiences, these projects challenge graduate students to not only ask the big questions, but also to work to find solutions to them. SU has the resources to help you achieve your goals.

Graduate Research and Presentation (RAP) Grant Program

Graduate Studies and Research provides research grants, up to $500, to help graduate students develop research and scholarly projects with faculty supervisors and present their projects at various conferences and meetings. The program enables students to receive recognition for their work and provides networking opportunities and professional development in their field of study.

The GSC’s goal is to provide avenues for intellectual, professional, personal, and social development through grants, advocacy, public presentation of research, graduate community events, and campus service support.
