Objectives

Graduate-level education at The College of Saint Rose is designed to build upon and go beyond undergraduate work. It aims to move students to advanced levels in their chosen fields. Such specialization involves a quantitative and qualitative increase in knowledge; the ability to critique and synthesize; familiarity with the principles, problems, ethical issues, and histories of the chosen disciplines; and the development of the attitudes and skills particular to the fields of study. Our graduate programs encourage this specialization by providing students with advanced-level course work and with opportunities to conduct and report on original research. The programs also challenge students to balance their professional development with an increased awareness of and concern for the needs of society.
