The Mission, Vision, and Values of Graduate Studies

Graduate Studies supports BYU's mission "to assist students in their quest for perfection and eternal life" by providing the leadership and services that enable graduate students in an environment of belonging to pursue high-quality advanced study, independent research, creative works, and professional training. Our vision is to assist graduate programs in raising the quality of admitted students, fostering a sense of belonging among students, and improving the overall graduate experience. Our key values involve establishing and enforcing policies and procedures that ensure the quality and integrity of BYU's graduate programs by

  1. providing supplemental funding for graduate students through department and individual student awards, 
  2. processing all graduate students from admission to graduation, including monitoring and advising, 
  3. providing training and support for all graduate programs,  
  4. supporting BYU’s efforts in creating an environment of belonging.
