Welcome!

The Office of the Vice Provost for Graduate Education (VPGE) works across all seven schools at Stanford University to enhance the quality of graduate education by fostering innovation.

Graduate studies at Stanford range widely: over 8,000 students are enrolled in more than 65 departments and programs, pursuing master’s, professional, and doctoral degrees. Stanford is highly decentralized. Responsibility for graduate education lies primarily with the departments and schools. VPGE's mission is to help assure that Stanford remains at the forefront of graduate education, providing ever better educational experiences for students.
