Letter from the Dean Dear Current and Prospective Graduate Student: Thank you for your interest in graduate study at Emporia State University. The decision to engage in graduate study can be a difficult one; however, as part of your decision-making process you might consider the following information: • Data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics projects employers will need to add nearly 2.4 million jobs requiring a graduate degree or higher between 2012 and 2022. • According to the U.S. Census Bureau, over the course of a lifetime, a person with a master’s degree will earn (on average) $400,000 more than those with a bachelor’s degree. Those with doctoral degrees will earn approximately $1.3 million more than those with a bachelor’s degree. Whether you are considering graduate education to further a present career, to retrain for a different career or to embark on study toward a doctoral degree, Emporia State University is uniquely situated to meet your educational needs. We offer 31 distinct degree programs with 33 concentrations and 14 graduate certificates. Many of our programs are nationally ranked for their quality and rigor of study, and most feature small class sizes that allow students to develop professional relationships with faculty who are experts within their fields. In addition, we offer a number of different modes of study, including face to face, online and hybrid instruction that features cutting edge technology. Finally, Emporia State University is competitive both regionally and nationally in tuition and fees. I encourage you to contact the staff at the Graduate School, if we can answer questions concerning this important educational step in your life. Sincerely, Dr. Jerald W. Spotswood Dean, Graduate School and Distance Education EMPORIA STATE UNIVERSITY 3
