The Graduate School was established
by act of May 15, 1862 (7 U.S.C.
2201). It is a continuing education
school offering career-related training
to adults. Courses are planned with the
assistance of Government professionals
and specialists. The Graduate School’s
objective is to improve Government
services by providing needed continuing
education and training opportunities for
Government employees and agencies.
The faculty is mostly part-time and
is drawn from throughout Government
and the community at large. They are
selected because of their professional and
specialized knowledge and experience
and thus bring a practicality and
experience to their classrooms.

but does provide planned sequences
of courses leading to certificates
of accomplishment in a number of
occupational and career fields important
to government. Training areas include
management, auditing, computer
science, communications, foreign
language, procurement, financial
