The School of Graduate Studies (SGS), which was augmented in 1999 with the MD/MPH degree program, provides master’s, doctoral, and postgraduate level education, including for the award of Continuing Medical Education (CME) and micro credentials, stackable for master's and doctoral degrees. SGS positions itself to deliver higher education that is responsive to industry workforce needs. The SGS is cross-cutting and operates in sync across three schools at the university: School of Arts and Sciences (SAS), School of Medicine (SOM), and School of Veterinary Medicine (SVM).
Graduate programs are delivered either virtually or directly at the university or in partnership with stakeholders in regional and international community-based settings. All MSc and doctoral programs have strong focus on community-oriented research towards generating responsive and practical solutions for the SGU stakeholder community. Since the inception of the program, research projects for graduate programs have been conducted in more than 40 countries and with as many universities and institutions.
The general policies, procedures, and requirements to earn a master’s degree at St. George’s University follow those of the School of Graduate Studies (SGS) of the University. The specific program in each department is defined by the established policies of the departmental/program curriculum committee.
