Graduate enrollment grew an astounding 12% this fall, at a time when the COVID-19 Coornavirus pandemic caused universities around the country to struggle with attracting students.<\/p>\n

\u201cWord continues to spread about the high-quality programs we offer at Austin Peay,\u201d Dr. Chad Brooks, associate provost for research and dean of the College of Graduate Studies, said. \u201cWe\u2019re also constantly developing new programs that appeal to all types of learners in our region and across the country.\u201d<\/p>\n

This fall, the University began offering its second doctoral degree \u2013 the state\u2019s first Doctor of Psychology in counseling psychology (Psy.D.) degree, with a concentration in serving military personnel, veterans and their families. This important new program will also offer a public clinic that provides vital mental-health services to this area\u2019s military community.<\/p>\n

The University\u2019s Board of Trustees also recently approved a new Master of Speech-Language Pathology degree. According to Dr. Kelly Kleinhans, the program\u2019s director, the new degree will \u201chelp individuals with communication disorders in the state of Tennessee\u201d by preparing \u201cgraduates to help people acquire or restore the basic human right of communication.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThese are just a few examples of how the College of Graduate Studies continues to develop numerous additional graduate programs to meet the market and health needs of the community that Austin Peay serves,\u201d Brooks said. \u201cAnd with many of our programs already online, we offered the convenience many students were looking for without the recent headaches of other newly online learning environments.\u201d<\/p>\n
