Dean's Welcome

Dr. Emilio Garcia-Marenko
Interim Dean, School of Graduate Studies


I invite you to explore the graduate programs of study at Andrews University. You will find that they are academically solid. You will also discover that our calling card is the distinctly Christian core of both programs and faculty. Values of service, kindness and cultivation of the whole person are part of every program of study. Spiritual growth is nurtured, as is that of the mind, body and emotions.

You will find innovation and a global perspective. The graduate programs at Andrews University are responsive to market and world needs. Graduates with an MS in software engineering are in high demand. An exciting program offered in cooperation with the Adventist Development and Relief Agency (ADRA) enables students to earn an MSA in International Development while actually working in international development and relief efforts around the world.

You will find research. Whether it is research in human nutrition or music performance, opportunities exist in all fields to learn how to conduct scholarly inquiry. The theological scholar can participate in fieldwork, side-by-side with leading archaeologists and cultural anthropologists in excavations in Israel and Jordan. Those in education and the social sciences learn to measure, design and implement ethical interventions that make a positive impact on human behavior and knowledge. In the natural and biological sciences, graduate students participate in on-going faculty research in well-equipped laboratories and field sites. These research activities coupled with academic quality prepare students for careers in the professions, industry or research, as well as for further study in graduate or professional schools.

You will find collegiality. Welcome to a worldwide professional and academic network at Andrews University. Students and faculty from over 100 countries create a living tapestry of collegial relationships and friendship to last a lifetime.

I invite you to consider one of our graduate programs in the very near future. You may request an application on-line. You are also invited to email graduate@andrews.edu or call to discuss your plans with us. I hope to hear from you.
