Welcome to The Graduate School at Winthrop University homepage. We are pleased to provide information about our graduate programs and numerous opportunities for advanced studies.

   First, our office primarily serves in a supportive role for graduate students, prospective graduate students and all graduate programs of the University.  We strive to deliver accurate and reliable information about the application and admission process, academic requirements, financial aid, and graduation requirements.  Second, we try to convey this information in a user-friendly and timely manner through a variety of accessible media and formats.

   The rapid growth and changing needs in the state and region offer numerous challenges and opportunities for higher education.  These challenges and opportunities can be met more effectively by a well-educated citizenry.  The Graduate School at Winthrop University provides a means for many individuals, within and outside the state, to meet changing demands in their professional and personal lives.  Graduate education significantly contributes to the economic development of the state and enhances the overall quality of life as well. 

   As Winthrop University continues to pursue its Vision of Distinction, we invite you to consider our many academic programs that are delivered in a challenging, yet supportive environment, by a highly able faculty and staff.  Students who complete our programs are well prepared to "live, learn and lead."

   If you would like additional information about our graduate programs or services, please contact me at murnaney@winthrop.edu.

Respectfully,
Yvonne Murnane, Ph.D.
