    William & Mary is unlike any other university in America.We’re the second oldest institution of higher learning in the nation, but also a cutting-edge research university. We’re a "Public Ivy" — one of only eight in the nation — offering a world-class education at an exceptional value. Our students are not only some of the smartest in the world, but passionate about serving others and serious about having fun. Our professors are teachers, scholars and research mentors, the cornerstone of a thriving intellectual community that produces experienced, engaged, successful graduates.Through their strengths, passions and knowledge, our faculty, students and staff are creating a new model of sustainability for higher education.We love our hometown of Williamsburg and the amazing Commonwealth of Virginia and we’re proud to be one of the reasons for their economic success. We're famous for our rigorous liberal arts curriculum and our dedicated, engaged professors. Our students are nothing short of exceptional they're scholars, athletes, activists, musicians, world travelers and generous volunteers. Our campus, adjoining Colonial Williamsburg, is a masterwork of preservation and innovation. We've been many things over the course of our 325-year history, but never has William & Mary been as vibrant, innovative and engaged as it is today.Our students shine brighter than ever. They come here with impressive test scores, but even more impressive ambitions. They're ready to be challenged inside the classroom and out. They see our historic dedication to community service and sustainability and can't wait to put their considerable talents to work on tough, real-world problems. Building on our core value of diversity, we strive to be a place where equity and inclusion are integral parts of all that we do. We work to create a community that is representative of individuals with different backgrounds, talents and skills.We believe in original, hands-on research, something that's missing from most liberal arts educations.That's why our undergrads — from their very first class — are given unprecedented opportunities to work with peers and experienced faculty mentors on projects that inspire them.We're proud of our hometown and our home state of Virginia. We’re constantly looking for innovative partnerships that contribute to the booming economic development of the Williamsburg region and the state as a whole.At the end of the day, nothing says more about the distinct advantages of a W&M education than the remarkable success of our graduates. William & Mary is an academic powerhouse. Our undergraduate and graduate students know they'll work hard, and that their uncommon efforts will be personally, academically and professionally rewarding.Our faculty members are recognized leaders in their fields and passionately engaged educators. They understand that first-hand knowledge, original researchand a first-person cross-cultural perspective have the power to turn an ordinary class into an unforgettable experience.Academic life at William & Mary takes place across Arts & Sciences and four schools, and dozens of academic departments.If you're seeking to be challenged, engaged, inspired — to be educated — you belong at William & Mary. We bet you have a lot of questions. For instance, who is W&M? What makes our students so extraordinary? For that matter, what exactly is a "Public Ivy?" And what does it mean to go to a university that claims both Thomas Jefferson and Jon Stewart as alumni?Start by checking out our more than 40 undergraduate programs, taught by the most committed professors in America (that’s an actual statistic) who are also internationally and nationally recognized scholars.And don’t forget our more than 40 graduate and professional degree programs in arts and sciences, business, education, law and marine science. You’ll see why U.S. News and World Report ranked us sixth among all public colleges and universities in the country.When you’re ready to apply, our undergraduate admission and graduate admission staff are here to make your life easier. William & Mary is consistently ranked among the top “best buy” colleges in the nation, due in no small part to our financial aid. Campus life at William & Mary is as varied and engaging as the remarkable students who go here. We're athletes, artists, activists, hikers, singers, researchers and adventurers, and W&M knows how to make us happy. We're called the College of William & Mary, but we're actually a university, making our share of a university's contributions to the creation of knowledge — research and scholarship.A research university holds a myriad of projects and relationships — large, small and in-between. Like these...Our research culture places an emphasis on quality, selectivity and innovation. Our size fosters both collaboration and efficiency. We're big enough to contribute effectively to many of the solutions of problems at national and global levels, yet small enough to keep overhead costs from ballooning.The scale of our research operation is ideal for the development of collaborations.Our collaborative philosophy extends to the involvement of undergraduates in research at the highest levels. It's quite common at William & Mary to find projects on which professors, post-docs, graduate students and undergraduates all work together — great illustrations of our research. View full university

Built on a diverse and rich academic foundation, Argosy University was formed in 2001 with the merging of three separate academic institutions—the American Schools of Professional Psychology, the University of Sarasota, and the Medical Institute of Minnesota. The Illinois School of Professional Psychology, the first of the American Schools of Professional Psychology, was founded in the 1976 by a group of psychologists, educators, and other professionals who called for a clinical psychology degree that emphasized teaching and practical training over the research-oriented approach of the traditional PhD degree. This effort ultimately led to the creation of the Doctor of Psychology (PsyD) degree, which we still offer today. The University of Sarasota also had a long history as an academic institution with programs for working adults, tracing its roots to 1969 when it was founded under a different name. The University of Sarasota also boasted an innovative delivery format that mixed distance learning with brief, intensive on-campus study periods. The third school, the Medical Institute of Minnesota, brought to the table its own rich heritage, which began when it was established in 1961 in response to the emerging needs of the medical community, with the goal of preparing skilled allied healthcare personnel for careers in the booming medical technology fields.Today, Argosy University supports one of the largest graduate student communities in the nation. We offer 27 campus locations across the United States as well as a number of degree programs online. The university derives its name from the noun argosy, which means a rich supply.

    Texas A&M University is dedicated to the discovery, development, communication, and application of knowledge in a wide range of academic and professional fields. Its mission of providing the highest quality undergraduate and graduate programs is inseparable from its mission of developing new understandings through research and creativity. It prepares students to assume roles in leadership, responsibility and service to society. Texas A&M assumes as its historic trust the maintenance of freedom of inquiry and an intellectual environment nurturing the human mind and spirit. It welcomes and seeks to serve persons of all racial, ethnic and geographic groups as it addresses the needs of an increasingly diverse population and a global economy. In the 21st century, Texas A&M University seeks to assume a place of preeminence among public universities while respecting its history and traditions. Texas A&M opened its doors in 1876 as the state's first public institution of higher learning. Today, we stand as a research-intensive flagship university dedicated to sending Aggie leaders out into the world prepared to take on the challenges of tomorrow. Located in the heart of the Houston-Dallas-Austin triangle, within a two-hour drive of 26 million of the state’s 28 million residents, Texas A&M's main campus in College Station is home to more than 62,500 students. Another 5,700 are at the branch campuses in Galveston and Qatar and other locations across Texas. With more than 130 undergraduate degree programs, 170 master's degree programs, 93 doctoral degree programs and 5 first professional degrees as options for study, Texas A&M is full of possibilities.Texas A&M looks to lead by example in everything we do. Our aim is to set the standard as the world-class university of the future by combining knowledge, research, and innovation to create solutions that few institutions have the depth and breadth to achieve. We’re committed to providing students opportunities to get a well-rounded education that prepares them to become leaders in their professions and in their communities. That means a focus on service as well as academics, and experience tackling real-world problems alongside some of the world’s top professors. Aggies commit to learning for a lifetime: whatever you dream, you can pursue it as an Aggie. You'll have all the resources of a world-class research university at your fingertips, but we'll still be there to help you find your way.Texas A&M is the state's first public institution of higher education. With a student body of more than 59,000 and more than 5,200 acres on the College Station campus, Texas A&M is also among the nation's largest universities. Our origins, however, are much humbler: we owe our existence to the Morrill Act, approved by the United States Congress on July 2, 1862. This act provided for donation of public land to the states for the purpose of funding higher education whose "leading object shall be, without excluding other scientific and classical studies, and including military tactics, to teach such branches of learning as are related to agriculture and mechanic arts." The State of Texas agreed to create a college under the terms of the Morrill Act in November 1866, but actual formation didn't come until the establishment of the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Texas by the Texas state legislature on April 17, 1871. A commission created to locate the institution accepted the offer of 2,416 acres of land from the citizens of Brazos County in 1871, and instruction began in 1876. Admission was limited to white males, and, as required by the Morrill Act, all students were required to participate in military training. Texas A&M underwent many changes in the 1960s under the presidency of Gen. James Earl Rudder. Under his tenure the college diversified, opening its doors to African-Americans and formally admitting women. Participation in the Corps of Cadets was also made voluntary. In 1963, the Texas state legislature officially renamed the school to Texas A&M University, with the "A" and "M" being a symbolic link to the school's past but no longer officially standing for "Agricultural and Mechanical." Since that time, Texas A&M has flourished to become one of the nation's premier research universities. Along with the University of Texas and Rice, Texas A&M is one of only three Tier 1 universities in the state. In 1971 and 1989, respectively, Texas A&M was designated as a sea-grant and a space-grant institution, making it among the first four universities to hold the triple distinction of land-grant, sea-grant, and space-grant designations. While membership in the Corps of Cadets became voluntary in 1965, the Corps has nonetheless continued to play a key role in the university. The Corps is often referred to as the "Keepers of the Spirit" and "Guardians of Tradition."Texas A&M remains one of only six senior military colleges, and the Corps of Cadets is the largest uniformed body outside the national service academies. As such, it has historically produced more officers than any other institution in the nation other than the academies. The George Bush Presidential Library and Museum opened in 1997 on west campus, making Texas A&M one of only a few universities to host a presidential library on their campus. President Bush maintains an active role in the university, hosting and participating in special events organized through the library. View full university

Evangel University, the first Pentecostal liberal arts college chartered in America, opened its doors on September 1, 1955. In those early days, there were only a few men who dreamed about a school like Evangel, where Assemblies of God students' faith would be nurtured, and his or her life's calling could be discovered. However, not everyone shared those dreams. It would take more than a desire to make Evangel a reality. The Rev. Ralph M. Riggs, general superintendent of the Assemblies of God at that time, was known as "Mr. Education" in the AG. Against some strong opposition from many members of the Assemblies of God, Riggs spearheaded the movement to create Evangel. After several earlier attempts failed, the resolution to create Evangel finally passed at the 1953 General Council in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.ving students the ability to network and gain internships at a Presidential institution?

    Rice is a leading research institution that fosters diversity and an intellectual environment that produces the next generation of leaders and advances tomorrow’s thinking.We believe knowledge is limitless. There is no "what if" that cannot become "what is," because research, creativity, innovation and scholarship are all a part of what makes Rice University so unique. We are a private, comprehensive research university, offering undergraduate and graduate degrees across seven schools. Rice's robust curriculum provides a vast array of courses leading to a holistic undergraduate experience that equips our students with the knowledge, skills and values to make a distinctive impact in the world. The residential college system is the heart of campus life. Its purpose is to foster democratic self-government, faculty-student interaction, and intellectual and cultural activity outside the classroom. These ideals are fundamental to the distinctiveness and success of the Rice undergraduate experience. Every student, regardless of the choice to live on or off campus, is a member of one of our 11 residential colleges.The colleges are small communities where students live, dine and interact with peers, faculty, staff and alumni develop strong relationships and contribute to the betterment of each other's lives and intellectual achievement. Within our colleges, legacies are born, traditions are celebrated and student spirit thrives. Prior to arriving on campus, students are randomly assigned to a residential college. Each college is a microcosm of the whole student body, which ensures that the colleges are enriched by the full range of our students' backgrounds and life experiences, academic interests and talents. Dating back to the founding of Rice University, our first president, Edgar Odell Lovett, mandated that we aspire to be a world-class university of the highest standing. He envisioned students and faculty as a community of scholars, their minds exercised by spirited discourse. Therefore, an integral part of the university's mission, we seek a broadly diverse student body where educational diversity increases the intellectual vitality of education, scholarship, service and communal life at Rice. We seek students of keen intellect and diverse backgrounds who not only show potential for success at Rice, but who will also contribute to the educational environment of those around them. We consider Houston an essential part of the education we offer to students as an urban university. As the nation's fourth-largest city and one of the busiest ports of trade, Houston offers one of the most diverse, culturally rich cities in America. In addition to receiving a first-class education at Rice University, your college experience will be intellectually and socially enhanced by a multitude of social activities, volunteer opportunities and internships in the nation's fourth-largest city.Rice students enjoy a rich city life. They experience world-class theatrical and musical productions cheer on major-league professional sports teams sample global cuisine at more than 6,000 restaurants and shop among trendy boutiques, bargain-filled outlets and the nation's fourth-largest mall. Over the past century, Rice has been able to uphold its founding president’s vision of an institution “of the highest grade” while still providing a superior education to students at tuition levels much lower than comparable schools.This has been possible because of the university’s dedicated leadership throughout its history. It takes many people to successfully govern a nationally ranked research university, from the president and other officers to the Rice University Board of Trustees to each member of the university committees. Thank you for your interest in graduate study at Rice University. With a graduate population of approximately 1500, Rice's graduate programs are large enough to offer research topics in several important areas of study, but small enough to offer close personal contact between faculty and students.

The Master of Science degree may be obtained in many engineering fields, computer science, materials science, earth science, and physics and astronomy.The School of Architecture offers the degrees of Master of Architecture and Master of Arts in Architecture. Completion of a MArch degree requires five to seven academic semesters and completion of a MA in Architecture requires three academic semesters. The Shepherd School of Music offers the Master of Music (M.M.) and the Doctor of Musical Arts (D.M.A.) degrees. The minimum hourly requirements for the M.Mus. degree vary from 43 to 57 according to major area. The Jesse H. Jones Graduate School of Business provides programs leading to the degrees of Master of Business Administration (M.B.A.). Completion of the M.B.A. degree requires a minimum of two academic years in residence at Rice and 60 credit hours. The Jones School also offers a one-year Master of Accounting (MAcc) degree, and doctoral degrees in marketing and finance, strategic management and accounting. The Master of Arts in Teaching (M.A.T.) is a professional degree program for students wishing to qualify for secondary-school teaching following a liberal undergraduate education.
