Overview

The College of Graduate Studies (CGS) is an administrative unit in the Division of Academic Affairs. The Dean and the staff of the College work collaboratively with all academic and administrative units of the University to serve the needs of the graduate community at UAEU. Although the CGS is a relatively new organizational unit in the University, UAEU has a legacy of offering quality graduate education since 1991. Over the last decade, our menu of graduate programs has expanded significantly to over 35 graduate degree programs at the Master’s and Doctorate levels with different orientations (professional and academic), which are offered by the nine different academic colleges.
