OFFICE OF GRADUATE AND POSTDOCTORAL STUDIES
Welcome to the Office of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies

Welcome and CoVid-19 Update

Welcome to the Office of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies (OGPS) at Tulane University! OGPS advances graduate education and enhances postdoctoral training through program oversight, policy development, and implementation of focused activities. OGPS is part of the Office of Academic Affairs.

Due to CoVid-19 and Tulane University's policy of de-concentration, we are working remotely at this time. Email is the best way to reach us, but we are available for phone calls and some video conferencing.

If you have general questions, please send them to ogps@tulane.edu

If you have questions regarding career or academic advising, please contact Briana Mohan at bmohan@tulane.edu

If you have questions regarding awards, grants, or other programs managed by OGPS, please contact Jennifer O'Brien-Brown at jobrien2@tulane.edu

 

Thank you, and take care!

Graduate Programs Still Accepting Applications

We recognize that many students' plans for the 2020-2021 academic year may have changed recently, and we hope to support you in your exploration of graduate studies at Tulane University. We have compiled a list of all of the programs (representing every school in the university and a wide range of subjects and degree types), which are still accepting applications for the 2020-2021 Academic Year. Check out the full list here!

 

Congratulations, Rachel Wise and Stephen Formel, Grand Prize and People's Choice winners, respectively, of Tulane's Fifth Annual Three Minute Thesis Competition! For more information about the 2019 Tulane 3MT competition, please click here.

In 2019, more than 1800 graduate and professional students have started work towards advanced degrees at Tulane and we are thrilled to welcome you all to campus. OGPS conducted orientation for new graduate students in the Schools of Liberal Arts, Medicine - Biomedical Sciences, and Science and Engineering on August 20. On August 21, OGPS held orientation for new teaching assistants from the same schools. We will have slides from both posted shortly in case you need to refer to anything from those days.

Congratulations Graduates! In the 2018-2019 academic year, 125 students received PhDs, 52 students received MAs, 11 students received MFAs, and 271 students received MSs! Students graduated from seven different schools within Tulane University and in 46 different disciplines.
