Welcome to NAGS

The Northeastern Association of Graduate Schools (NAGS) is one of four regional affiliates of the Council of Graduate Schools (CGS). Founded in 1975, NAGS draws institutional membership from the states of Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Washington, D.C., and the Canadian provinces of New Brunswick, Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, Ontario, Prince Edward Island and Quebec.

We are a group of graduate deans, assistant/associate deans, directors, and other administrators from 75 colleges and universities in the United States and Canada. Across various platforms, including the annual meeting, webinars, and member consultations, we identify and discuss emerging issues in graduate education. We develop resources, offer professional and career development, and provide other member support. We also support graduate students from our member institutions through the NAGS 3-Minute-Thesis competition and outstanding thesis and dissertation awards. We welcome new members, especially from those institutions starting new graduate degree and certificate programs. See our membership information or contact us with questions. We hope you will join us!
