The University of Minnesota is one of the nation’s largest research institutions. We offer hundreds of graduate and professional degree programs led by award-winning and internationally-recognized faculty to help develop the next generation of leaders, innovators, and visionaries.
We’re here to help with questions about applications and transcripts, advise on financial aid and grants, support international students who need to obtain a visa, and facilitate outreach programs that promote graduate study.
The Graduate School Diversity Office (GSDO) leads and coordinates the University’s initiatives in the recruitment, funding, retention, and graduation of a diverse graduate and professional student body. Additionally, our office works closely with other organizations connected to diversity, underrepresented populations, and multiculturalism.
Your financial well-being is essential to your academic success. Fellowships, grants, research assistantships, teaching assistantships, and loans provide the most common forms of support for graduate students.
The Graduate School is here to ensure that you have access to the resources and support you need to develop your skills, expand your knowledge, and prepare you for the next step of your professional journey.
