Graduate College
Northeastern Illinois University, through its Graduate College and faculty, provides the resources, the facilities and the academic environment to advance learning, to foster creativity, and to nurture intellectual independence in graduate education. Graduate students pursue advanced studies and join faculty in extending knowledge through research and scholarly activities.
The Graduate College offers the majority of its coursework during the late afternoon and evening hours to accommodate individuals who are pursuing a master's degree on a part-time basis. Students wishing to carry a full academic load should anticipate course scheduling limitations and plan accordingly.
At present, the Graduate College offers Master's degree programs in 38 academic concentrations. All students admitted to the Master's programs are enrolled in the Graduate College and governed by its policies and procedures. Graduate students, therefore, have different tuition rates, grievance procedures, and registration processing. They are eligible to apply for the teaching/research assistantships and tuition waivers available through the College and departments.
Applications, both for admission and graduation, are accepted for each academic term as per the schedule provided with the application materials and published in the Schedule of Classes. Applicants are advised to check with the Graduate College office for any changes or special situations.
