GRADUATE STUDENTS
Students enrolled in Master’s or Doctoral Programs at Dietrich College
CURRENT STATE The admission process and climate for Masters programs has been difficult to track because the information is collected by each separate department. Efforts are currently underway to centralize this process to gather a more accurate assessment of the diversity of our graduate program. At this time, the number of URM doctoral programs is quite low relative to the potential pool (e.g., graduating undergraduates and master’s students who could potentially enroll in a doctoral program). For example, in FY18, less than 1% of enrolled PhD students in Dietrich College identified as Black or Hispanic (but not international).

While the graduate student section focuses on doctoral students, future iterations will expand on the needs of graduate students pursuing a Master’s degree. Additional input from graduate students in the Dietrich College is welcome to help shape and prioritize goals.
