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.
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.
