Welcome from the Vice Provost

Thanks for your interest in our graduate programs. ODU is undergoing a transformational rise in the quality of our programs. Our vision is to train the future leaders, professionals and societal shakers for a very different and dynamic 21st century world. The demand for quality and meaningful education in higher education has reached new heights, and this demand is most critical in graduate education. ODU is responding to these demands by offering certificate, licensure, masters and doctoral programs that enhance not only knowledge but the skills and real-life experiences you need to solve problems, to think creatively and critically, to work with complex teams, and to communicate effectively to a multidisciplinary and international audience. If this is your goal and the type of graduate experience you are looking for, then the ODU faculty want you as part of our growth experience.
