New Graduate Programs Available at The University of Toledo

In an effort to provide students with the most relevant education in today’s global environment and job market, the College of Graduate Studies is delighted to announce two exciting new graduate opportunities at The University of Toledo.

In spring 2013, the College of Languages, Literature and Social Sciences will begin offering a new Graduate Certificate in Women’s and Gender Studies. The 15 credit hour program is an interdisciplinary program of study which examines the significance and consequences of gender as a cultural category that shapes the experiences and knowledge of individuals and communities.

This graduate certificate can be applied toward a master of liberal studies degree.

In fall 2013, the College of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences will begin offering a Ph.D.in Experimental Therapeutics degree. Students will integrate basic and applied sciences focused on the study and development of new drug treatments for human disease. These doctorally prepared students will be able to bridge the gap from “bench to bedside” bringing new therapies to patients in clinical settings.

These two new programs join several other recent new graduate certificate and degree programs on an already expansive list of programs and opportunities for graduate education at UT.  There certainly is a graduate program for everyone!

Psychology Ph.D. Student Sits on National Board

In July 2012, Michelle Roley, a Ph.D. student in the Psychology program and University Fellow at The University of Toledo, began a two-year term on the Society for Clinical Child and Adolescent Psychology Graduate Student Advisory Board.

Roley is on the Programming Committee that works to improve undergraduate and graduate involvement in the organization. Roley says that she is working on ways to help these populations stay connected and get involved. Her current initiatives include a “speed mentoring” program for the national convention that will make it possible for undergraduate, graduate and new professionals in the field to connect with seasoned professionals and learn more about the different career trajectories available. She also is developing a blog for the society’s website where child and adolescent psychologists will be able to post about the different career paths they have traveled.

Roley’s favorite aspect of her committee work is being able to serve her peers and help them plan for the future- a role for which she feels well prepared because of the strength of clinical psychology doctoral program at UT. She explains, “In the Psychology program we have a mentorship model that operates on the principle that your advisor can help steer you toward your career trajectory. You’re expected to come in with a good plan of where you want to go with your career, but your advisor and the program are there to help guide you.”

The College of Graduate Studies would like to congratulate Michelle on her appointment to this national board.
