diversity in the student body enhances the intellectual experience and
understanding of the entire scholarly community. Thus, the Office of Minority Affairs &
Special Programs is committed toward the recruitment, matriculation and
graduation of underrepresented students into Ph.D programs. The Office of Minority Affairs (OMA) seeks to
encourage the admission of students from underrepresented groups such as
Black/African American, Mexican American, Native American, Pacific Islanders and
Puerto Rican. Additionally, the office
assists students who may have experienced racial and/or socio-economic barriers
to doctoral education and attempts to facilitate their successful admission and
matriculation to the Graduate School.
