Howard University is a historically black research university committed to providing excellent graduate education and preparing students for leadership roles, faculty positions, and impactful careers. Across Howard's graduate degree programs, our students are united in their goal of positively impacting their local and global communities.
Join the Howard University Graduate School at our upcoming Graduate Programs Virtual Open House from February 21-28, 2023, to explore graduate degree programs across various fields, including the humanities and social sciences, public health, engineering, biomedical sciences, computer and data science, social and behavioral sciences, and more. Attend as many virtual Open House sessions as you’d like to find out which program is the best fit for you.
Meet virtually with current students from the graduate programs you are exploring and ask them all of your questions to get a glimpse of graduate student life. Have in-depth conversations with academic program directors who will share information about their respective programs, degree requirements, research opportunities, career resources and outcomes, and program support. Learn what makes you stand out as a competitive applicant.
