CCU creates College of Graduate Studies and Research

Coastal Carolina University has established a new college dedicated to supporting and advancing the institution’s graduate and research programs. The College of Graduate Studies and Research will focus on the coordination of graduate recruitment and enrollment across all academic disciplines as well as all the University’s research efforts at both the graduate and undergraduate levels.

The new college will begin operations in January 2019 and will be led by longtime CCU professor and administrator Robert F. Young as interim dean. The college will include the offices of graduate study; sponsored programs and research services; graduate and undergraduate research; and CCU’s research foundation.

The new college was created based on needs indicated in the University’s 2016-2021 strategic plan for additional focus on graduate enrollment and grant funding. The strategic plan specifies a July 2019 target date for implementation.
