It is the mission of the Graduate College to promote and support the integrity, quality, and vitality of ASU graduate programs including master's degrees, professional degrees and doctoral degrees.

Our goal is to insure university-wide standards of quality, access, and equity in graduate programs and promote the interests of ASU's graduate students and graduate education within the state, national, and international arenas.

Central to this vision is the enhancement of the diversity of ASU's graduate population as well as the development of a dynamic range of cutting-edge interdisciplinary graduate programs across the university.
