In addition to our seven schools, WashU offers a professional and continuing education division, School of Continuing & Professional Studies (CAPS), giving adult students the opportunity to experience the excitement of attending and earning a degree or certificate from a world-class research institution – offering over 40 programs of study.

The Inter-University Exchange Program provides an opportunity for some Washington University students to enroll in courses at Saint Louis University and the University of Missouri-St. Louis. The Skandalaris Center offers co-curricular programming and practical, hands-on training and funding opportunities to students and faculty in all disciplines and schools.


Policies

In fall 2021, Washington University began reorganizing the administration and oversight of many of its graduate education programs. Led by the Office of the Provost and ongoing throughout the current semester, this effort will result in each school supporting its own graduate programming under broad university-wide guidelines.

The academic calendars are available on the Office of the Registrar’s website.
