The Graduate School administers all advanced degree programs offered in the College of Community and Public Affairs, the Decker College of Nursing and Health Sciences, the Harpur College of Arts and Sciences, the School of Management, the School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences, and the Thomas J. Watson College of Engineering and Applied Science. In addition, the Graduate School hosts several interdisciplinary academic programs, where coursework spans across individual college boundaries and curriculum is a shared responsibility. The Graduate School prepares students with training in advanced research, scholarship, creative activities, teaching and professional leadership.
The Graduate School was formally established by the faculty in 1975 and is under the administration of the vice provost and dean of the Graduate School. The faculty of the Graduate School comprises all full professors, associate professors and assistant professors in departments, schools and colleges offering instructional programs leading to advanced degrees. The governing body of the Graduate School is the Graduate Council.
The Graduate School works closely with the deans, graduate directors, and faculty of Binghamton University’s schools, colleges, and academic departments to support student success and provide administrative coordination for admissions, funding, and academic affairs. The Graduate School is committed to providing graduate students with professional and scholarship development opportunities.

As a selective university center, Binghamton offers more than 30 doctoral programs. These doctoral programs help fulfill one of the University’s crucial missions: to prepare both a professoriate and a capable, trained workforce ready to think through the problems of the future and to contribute creativity and invention in a variety of disciplines.
Master’s-level study prepares students for professional practice and encourages habits of analysis and reflection.
Several advanced certificate programs, which may be pursued in addition to degree programs, emphasize interdisciplinary study in various fields and allow our students to further customize their graduate studies at Binghamton University.
