Office of the Dean

Welcome to the School of Graduate Studies at Bridgewater State College.

Dear Graduate Students,

On behalf of the staff, I extend a welcome to all new and returning students of Bridgewater State College's School of Graduate Studies.

The School of Graduate Studies is clearly focused on the mission of meeting the academic needs of our students while ensuring a high-quality, research-based, intellectually challenging educational experience and affordable graduate education.

The School of Graduate Studies looks forward to meeting the academic needs of students from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and beyond.

The School of Graduate Studies Student Handbook is now available for graduate students. The handbook will help graduate students navigate the sometimes labyrinthine academic and non-academic challenges of the educational process, including admissions and registration, Banner ID numbers and parking.

The handbook will answer the most common questions about the School of Graduate Studies. Copies of the handbook are mailed to all current graduate students. Please stop by the School of Graduate Studies to pick up a copy if you have not received one. Handbooks are available in our office from Monday through Thursday from 8 A.M. to 7:30 P.M. and on Friday from 8 A.M. to 5:00 P.M.

Please feel free to drop by the School of Graduate Studies, located on the ground floor of Maxwell Library.

We look forward to helping you craft a rewarding graduate educational experience.

William S. Smith, PhD
Dean, School of Graduate Studies
