This is the preliminary (or launch) version of the 2024-2025 VCU Bulletin. We may add courses that expose our students to cutting-edge content and transformative learning. We may also add content to the general education program that focuses on racial literacy and a racial literacy graduation requirement, and may receive notification of additional program approvals after the launch. The final edition and full PDF version will include these updates and will be available in August prior to the beginning of the fall semester.

The Graduate School at VCU is committed to providing graduate students with ongoing opportunities for academic and professional development. Working with graduate faculty and academic graduate program directors, and with academic and administrative support from across the university, the Graduate School strives to identify, support and sponsor initiatives that will prepare the next generation of the professoriate.

In conjunction with the Center for Teaching Excellence, the Graduate School sponsors the Preparing Future Faculty Program for graduate students interested in pursuing teaching careers in academe. Complete information about the program is available on the Graduate School website.
