About Us

Dr. Nancy Marcus, Dean of the Graduate School at Florida State University.

The Graduate School supports graduate students in every program at the Florida State University. We provide assistance in academic matters, advice on University-wide degree requirements, information on the availability of financial assistance including assistantships, fellowships and scholarships, as well as approval for theses and dissertations.

On this website you can find descriptions and contact information for our office staff, links to academic policies, forms, and general resource information. You will also find links to activities designed to enrich your graduate student experience both academically and socially. This includes the New Graduate Student Orientation held at the start of each fall and spring semester by the Graduate School; workshops/courses on successful teaching strategies, grant writing, ethics in research, and preparing future faculty; and special activities such as lectures, symposia, concerts, theatre, films, and sporting events.

All of us in the Graduate School wish you success in pursuing your advanced studies, and encourage you to contact us if you need assistance or information.
