The mission of UNMC Graduate Studies is to be the best place in the nation for training graduate students through exceptional health science education and research programs, faculty mentoring and professional skills development. As Dean for Graduate Studies and Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs, I welcome all our current and prospective graduate students and post-doctoral fellows, as well as al
umni of our programs to our page. I hope that you will use this page to regularly communicate with us and with each other and let us know about exciting developments in your careers and changes in your lives. Our 640 graduate studies students and post-doctoral fellows are from across Nebraska, all over the United States and from around the world. We have international students, faculty, staff and researchers from more than 60 countries including several students emanating from our special relationship with China as part of the Chinese Scholarship Council Program (http://www.unmc.edu/aprdp/csc.htm), as well as students and fellows from countries as diverse as India, Germany, Argentina, Ecuador, Brazil, Russia, Nigeria and Zambia. Our graduate students and post-doctoral fellows share an elegant campus with over 3,200 professional students in the nationally ranked Colleges of Medicine (http://grad-schools.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/best-graduate-schools/top-medical-schools/university-of-nebraska-medical-center-04063), Nursing (http://grad-schools.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/best-graduate-schools/top-health-schools/nursing-rankings/page+2) , Pharmacy (http://grad-schools.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/best-graduate-schools/top-health-schools/pharmacy-rankings/page+2), Dentistry (http://www.usdentalschools.com/top_school_rankings/index.html), Public Health, and the School of Allied Health. Several of our graduate studies alumni are professors at distinguished academic institutions across the country and around the world and several more have distinguished themselves outside academia in settings such as governmental agencies, biomedical, biotechnical and pharmaceutical industries. Our faculty members serve on several federal scientific and advisory committees including committees of the National Institute of Health, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Food and Drug Administration. We take great pride in our graduate students and post-doctoral fellows and our primary goal is to ensure that you receive a world-class education that will set you up well for a bright future either inside or outside academia.
