About the Faculty of Graduate Studies

Deciding to become a graduate student is a momentous, life-changing step. At the University of Prince Edward Island, we recognize that expanding your opportunities to grow also provides the building blocks for our institution to grow.

As UPEI expanded its programs and enrolment, we created the Faculty of Graduate Studies so that we can focus our energies on making this important step in your life the best experience possible. It will allow you to maximize your potential and expand your personal horizons while contributing to our collective vision of being a force for positive change in the world.

Graduate students contribute to our most valued endeavours in academia including research, teaching, mentorship, and community outreach. These specific activities are changing as we evolve, but our core mission remains constant – to promote and enhance all aspects of the student experience at UPEI.
