The Office of the Vice Provost works collaboratively with Western's schools and departments to enhance the quality of graduate education at Western University.

Graduate studies at Western range widely: over 5,000 students are enrolled in more than 75 departments and programs, pursuing master’s and doctoral degrees. Western is highly decentralized: the responsibility for graduate education lies primarily within the university's departments and schools. Our mission is to assure that Western remains at the forefront of graduate education, providing the highest quality educational experiences for students.
