Graduate Students

Graduate Student

Graduate students make important contributions to the research and teaching missions of KU. They are also the next generation of scholars who will make research and teaching contributions for many years to come. Graduate students are involved in undergraduate teaching and learning in addition to the research training they receive working side-by-side with members of one of the best faculties in the world. The aim of education at the graduate level is to bring students to the frontiers of current knowledge in a discipline and to enable them to become independent contributors to that knowledge. We engage graduate students as collaborators in producing and disseminating knowledge while promoting their independence as scholars, teachers, and productive citizens.
