Welcome to the Polytechnic University of Puerto Rico Graduate School web page! The Polytechnic started offering graduate studies in 1992 with a degree in Master of Engineering Management. Today, the Polytechnic has awarded more than 1,000 master's degrees. With a highly qualified Graduate Faculty the Polytechnic University of Puerto Rico, the major Engineering Private Hispanic Institution in the United States, offers 11 programs leading to a variety of master's degrees. Enrollment for Graduate School exceeds 600 active students per academic term.

At Polytechnic University, our agile institutional culture and professional approach for student services provide the advantage of offering programs that respond to the needs of Puerto Rico by becoming partners of students seeking professional and academic development at the same time. This approach ensures adequate preparation for the global economy that the new century imposes on our future professional leaders.

The Graduate School Deanship was created on fall 2002 with the purpose of integrating the services of all graduate programs offered to our students. The Graduate School consists of both administrative and academic units. These include the Deanship Office, Office of Graduate Affairs, the Graduate Programs Coordinators Team and the International Academic Alliances. The Graduate School unit reports to the office of the Vice President for Academic Affairs. The Graduate School plays an essential role promoting quality instructional programs and has the objective of developing state-of-the-art research.

Our students pursue their degrees in the fields of Engineering, Management and Landscape Architecture. The Engineering Graduate Programs include 7 different areas leading to master’s degrees.
