Welcome to the Office of Graduate Studies at the University of Prince Edward Island. This is an exciting time for graduate studies at UPEI. Existing programs are growing, and various new programs are being proposed and implemented. Graduate students are making increasingly important contributions to UPEI in many areas, including research, teaching, mentorship, the campus community and community outreach.
UPEI offers a diverse range of graduate programs, in various Faculties, Schools and the Atlantic Veterinary College (listed and described on this website). The role of the Office of Graduate Studies is to serve as a central location and source of information for all graduate students and graduate faculty at UPEI, to refine and develop graduate studies policies, to support new program development, to promote graduate student research and scholarly work, and to provide guidance and support to graduate students in their programs. We will work closely with the Graduate Student Association (GSA) on graduate student issues, and to help promote a sense of community amongst graduate students from across the programs.  As well, a Graduate Studies Advisory Committee has been established, to work on all aspects of graduate studies at UPEI.
We will all work together to continue to expand the role and impact of graduate studies and graduate students at UPEI on the University and beyond.
Dr. Brian D. Wagner
Assistant Vice President, Graduate Studies

The GSA exists to promote the welfare, scholarly excellence and robust graduate studies experience of all members. These goals can only be met if we join hands towards achieving them. I therefore encourage everyone to actively participate in the several GSA activities as they come up. Although we may have minimal time for extracurricular activities due to pressure from studies, work and family; let us remember the old saying that ‘all work and no play makes Jack a dull student’! Let us all do well to get involved; each person will cherish the memories even many years after. If you have any suggestions on how to make the association a quintessential one, kindly contact your faculty representative or any of the GSA executives. We all belong to GSA and likewise, GSA belongs to all of us.
