The Office of Graduate Studies (OGS) is the principal resource for students, faculty, and staff regarding graduate certificate and degree requirements, degree status, petition procedures, thesis and dissertation preparation, final oral examinations, eligibility of graduate assistants, and academic standing.  OGS oversees 18 doctoral programs, over 70 master’s programs, and over 30 graduate certificate programs, and we process the graduation paperwork for the over 1,600 graduate degrees and certificates that are awarded annually.

Our staff has over 100 years of combined experience working at PSU, and it is our goal to use this experience to further and strengthen graduate education at PSU.
