PLAN, Manage Your Professional Development as a Graduate Student
Since conferring its first doctoral degree in 1876, the University of Michigan has advanced the value of graduate education in meeting society's needs. In 1935, donor Mary Rackham worked with President Alexander Ruthven to endow the Graduate School with the means to support graduate education at Michigan.
Today, the Horace H. Rackham School of Graduate Studies is a community of scholars, researchers, and students in 194 programs at the University of Michigan, joined together by the rigors of their academic pursuits and housed in the magnificent Rackham Building. The Rackham community is engaged in the creation of new knowledge, new discoveries, and perhaps more important, in the formation of our future leaders. More than 85,000 Rackham alumni all over the world bring their talent and training to the problems they encounter and can claim important accomplishments within their professional and personal lives.
The Rackham Graduate School is the home of graduate education at the University of Michigan. More than 7,000 students are enrolled in Rackham’s 104 doctoral and 90 master’s programs situated within the schools and colleges of the University. The Rackham Graduate School awards all of the University’s PhD, MA, MS, and MFA degrees, as well as other selected Master’s degrees. Another 7,000 students are enrolled in graduate-professional degree programs in other schools and colleges of the University. continue reading
