College of graduate Studies The major objective of the Graduate College is to offer education beyond the baccalaureate level to those men and women who aspire to become intellectual leaders in various professional and in various fields of teaching and research. Upon completion of the normal curricula or after some business experience, many students decide to continue their education in their chosen field. These students are placed in the graduate school under the Dean of Graduate Studies where the professors have had adequate training and experience and are well qualified to administer further theory. A graduate may receive an advanced degree in most curricula upon completion of the advanced courses and other requirements. Texas A AA University has a growing graduate college with excellent professors in every field of study. Due to this growth in graduate studies, the University has received many grants and fellowships from industry to aid in student and faculty research. Cost of research projects at Texas A AA University runs in excess of $15 million, much of which is spent on projects in which graduate students participate. Facilities for research at A AA are outstanding. There are 150 laboratories at the main plant in College Station and in field sites across the state. Some of the research facilities cannot be duplicated in any university in the Southwest. 25
