An Education for Every Interest

Virginia State University offers 49 baccalaureate and master’s degree programs and a Certificate of Advanced Study within five schools: The School of Agriculture; The School of Business; The School of Engineering, Science and Technology; The School of Liberal Arts and Education; and The School of Graduate Studies, Research and Outreach.  In the Fall of 2003, Virginia State University introduced its first-ever doctoral program, as a cohort of 12 students began studying for the Doctor of Education in Administration and Supervision.

Students who come to Virginia State University can choose to major in a variety of disciplines, including five programs initiated in fall 2001: computer engineering, computer science, criminal justice, mass communications and manufacturing engineering.

 

The School of Graduate Studies, Research and Outreach provides access for non-traditional students in the surrounding counties to continue their education toward formal degree programs, for professional growth or for self-enrichment.  The emphasis is on convenience and access, with workshops, seminars and institutes, in addition to credit courses, on campus and at off-campus sites in Richmond, Emporia, Petersburg, Chesterfield, Dinwiddie, Henrico and other Southside Virginia locations.

 

The School of Graduate Studies also coordinates a bachelor of individualized studies degree program, a non-traditional baccalaureate program primarily for working adults.  Students can pursue the degree on a full-time or part-time basis.
