Non-Traditional Graduate Student Community

The Non-Traditional Graduate Student Community seeks to provide resources and support to current students who consider themselves to be “non-traditional” and would like to connect with peers and mentors with similar lived experiences.

Who is a “non-traditional graduate student”? The term “non-traditional” is broad, with no single defining characteristic. Many students may consider themselves non-traditional learners. Non-traditional students have a range of experiences, such as attending graduate school part-time while working a full-time job, returning to graduate school after a significant gap to pursue a degree, balancing education with home and family life, being older than the average student enrollment at an institution, and more.
