There are many ways to gauge
the quality of graduate education. These web pages were
developed in an effort to show how, based on any of a number
of indices, UT's graduate programs and students are among
the very best in the world. Our assumption is that no single
quality indicator is better than another. Viewed
individually, each may be limited. In combination, however,
they attest to the strength of graduate education at the
University of Texas.
What these indices reveal is
that UT has an extremely large number of nationally ranked
programs whose students are successfully employed and
certified. These pages underscore the innumerable national
honors and awards annually received by UT graduate students,
and the substantial amount of extramural funding captured by
UT graduate students and programs. In reading these pages,
you will learn about the many discoveries, innovations and
pedagogical accomplishments of graduate students at this
institution, as well as the important contributions of UT
graduate programs and students to citizens of the state,
nation and world; and you will discover the high rate of
scholarly and creative output of our graduate
students.
But there are still other
ways to discern the caliber of graduate education at UT.
Contained within this web site, for example, is information
suggesting that UT graduate programs are not only among the
most selective in admitting students, but that they are
successful in recruiting those students to enroll. Moreover,
beyond the rigorous education students receive in the more
than ninety individual disciplines on campus, UT graduate
students have the unique opportunity to participate in
several professional enrichment and cross-disciplinary
programs--programs that give students a sense of community
and prepare them academically and professionally for life
following graduate school. Finally, what is impressive is
that, after receiving degrees, UT graduate students
overwhelmingly report satisfaction with their education and
comment on professional successes attributed directly to
their studies at UT.
