Message from the President
The excitement felt on the campus
of the University of Louisiana at
Monroe as we begin a new academic
year is as real for us as this step, your
beginning the next level of your
education, is for you. These are times
of significant change for this dynamic
institution, just as they are times of
significant change for you, a new
graduate student. As you take the
steps necessary to secure a better life
by investing in your future through
advanced education, so too is ULM
taking the steps necessary so that we can better serve our students,
our faculty and staff, our community, and society.
ULM’s graduate programs are designed so that our students will
get the most out of their education. Our graduate students will
interact with and study under scholars of national and international
distinction in their respective fields. Faith and dedication to higher
order understanding and skills are at the core of ULM’s graduate
mission. When you master the course set within one of the 27
disciplines offered at ULM, you join the ranks of others in one of
life’s greatest journeys: to better understand one’s self and one’s
environment and to contribute to a better life for everyone.
I look forward to serving ULM during the coming years and to
working with you as together we explore the limitless opportunities
that education makes possible.
James E. Cofer, Sr.
ULM President
