Welcome to the Office of the Dean for Graduate Education, an Institute-wide support and referral office for graduate students and graduate administrators. The ODGE complements the individual departments' administration and advocates broadly for graduate education. The ODGE comprises the Office of the Dean for Graduate Education, the International Students Office, and the Graduate Student Council. Together, we foster academic excellence and quality of life for MIT's community of graduate students. We are located just off the Infinite Corridor in Room 3-138.

On this site, we offer answers to life's persistent questions about graduate education at MIT and pointers to relevant information on other sites. The graduate administrator for each department is also an important resource.

For the ODGE's perspective on graduate community at MIT, please see "community building."
