Graduate Research

Graduate students account for approximately one-third of the entire student body at Andrews University.

They are involved in a variety of research projects both independently and in cooperation with Andrews faculty members. The products of their research can be found on the Dissertation and Thesis Database. A complete bibliography of theses and dissertations completed at a Seventh-day Adventist university is available for download here.
