Welcome Prospective Students

Choosing the right graduate school is a critical step on the path to a fulfulling career. By choosing the Graduate School at Wake Forest, you will obtain the academic resources of a large university with the sense of community found in a smaller school.

The school has more than 525 graduate faculty representing many traditional disciplines and also involved in interdisciplinary and translational research programs. The graduate faculty act as mentors as well as educators, providing students with access to research interests from across the spectrum of academic disciplines. The school and university greatly value their diversity and welcomes students from a wide range of racial and ethnic backgrounds.

As the boundaries of traditional disciplines have become more diffused, the Graduate School is responding by developing new interdisciplinary graduate programs that cross departmental, school and campus lines. For a complete list of our programs, please see our "Programs of Study" page.

We hope that the information contained in these pages will be informative in guiding you through the application process. Please feel free to contact our offices if you need additional help.
