The General Assembly of 1939 authorized the establishment of graduate study programs in liberal arts and the professions at North Carolina Central University. In ensuing years with the creation of several programs, the Graduate School has grown to offering degrees in the College of Liberal Arts; the College of Social and Behavioral Sciences; the College of Science and Technology; and the Schools of Business, Law, Education, and Library and Information Sciences. The mission of the School of Graduate Studies is to provide world-class education and to produce leaders that are culturally sensitive and engaged in their respective fields of study. The graduate programs are nationally ranked, competitive, and producers of doctoral level candidates.

The Graduate School seeks support for outstanding graduate students which will allow us to retain and attract outstanding graduate faculty members. We seek your support in helping us create named and endowed graduate fellowships so that we can continue to provide opportunities for our students. By providing these funds to graduate and professional students, we will remain competitive with other master’s only institutions.

The staff of the Graduate School is comprised of the Dean, Associate Dean, Director of Admissions, Director of Enrolled Student Services, Director of Graduate Recruitment and an Administrative Assistant. We are located in Room 123 Taylor Education Building on Eagle Campus Drive. We invite you to visit us, or contact us at 919-530-7396, or email sdelaude@nccu.edu.
