Graduate instruction at Brown traces to early 20th-century reforms influenced by leaders from institutions like Harvard University, Yale University, and Columbia University. Landmark developments paralleled national trends embodied by the G.I. Bill and the expansion of research universities after World War II. Brown’s graduate structure evolved through associations with figures associated with the Rhode Island School of Design and municipal partners in Providence, Rhode Island. The graduate school expanded doctoral programs during the postwar period in dialogue with initiatives at the National Science Foundation and collaborative grants from organizations such as the National Endowment for the Humanities and the National Institutes of Health.
