The University of West Georgia has restructured its operation of graduate education in order to better serve you. As of July 1st, the University has moved to a decentralized model for the administration of graduate education. Individual colleges will now personally handle all inquiries and procedures related to graduate programs.
Below is a complete list of graduate programs, the colleges they belong to, and the contact person for each college. For questions about specific programs, or about graduate education, please contact the Graduate Studies Office in your respective college. If you should have any difficulty making that contact, please contact Associate Vice President Dr. Myrna Gantner (mgantner@westga.edu).
