Mission of Graduate Study
The Mission of the School of Adult and Graduate Education at Medaille College is to facilitate the exchange of ideas and the creation of knowledge while fostering academic excellence. The School of Adult and Graduate Education promotes a high quality-learning environment that embraces diversity. This commitment is evident across the curricula of each of the division’s programs, which, at their core, seek to foster the development of transformative intellectuals and agents for positive change for our community. The faculty members of the School of Adult and Graduate Education are active teachers and scholars dedicated to excellence in teaching and the development of new knowledge. The curriculum in each program is designed to develop the highest degrees of competence, professionalism, and leadership qualities in the student.
Graduate study requires high academic achievement, and it will extend your experience and capabilities within the advanced, specialized areas of your chosen field. While the emphasis of all master's programs within the Medaille Graduate Division is on preparing you for professional practice, you will develop a thorough understanding of research and research methodology. A common objective of all Medaille Graduate Programs is to develop the capacities you will need for independent study and research, so that critical inquiry is made a viable mode for improving your practice throughout your career.
Students pursuing graduate studies are admitted and enrolled in the School of Adult and Graduate Education and are subject to the policies of the college's Graduate Handbook as well as the regulations of their specific programs.
