Graduate Education - Bradley University

Overview

We are more than a community of students with outstanding academic records. We are a vibrant and diverse group of students with a shared passion for learning. With the help of Honors Program faculty and staff, you’ll be joining a supportive environment, developing knowledge, and stimulating critical thinking. You will find small and engaging classes, seminars that span multiple disciplines, and a variety of on-campus and off-campus cultural and social events.Bradley offers more than 60 master’s, doctoral and certificate programs. These programs equip you with advanced theoretical knowledge and practical experience to solve problems and address local, regional and global concerns in the arts, business, engineering, health, science and education.

Bradley University graduate programs are designed to give you a strong academic community through small classes and engaged faculty. Classes are intentionally small so you can be mentored by your faculty. Graduate programs allow you to develop useful tools for your professional career through research, discussions and projects that blend theory with practice. You also get to know the Peoria area through research, internship and practicum opportunities at regional businesses and nonprofits.
