How Does Prograds Help?

Prograds is for grad school progress. Students make better progress, with less stress, when students, professors, program directors, and administrative staff all have access to the information they need, on demand.

Prograds is one application to bring all this information together and make it easily available to the right people at the right time. A one-stop shop for graduate prograds, um, we mean… progress.
