Change is the watchword of the 21st century and universities must change to meet societal demands and expectations and to serve their public responsibly. As universities evolve within the global landscape, universities will experience both challenges and unprecedented opportunities. For success in leveraging the challenges and opportunities, the 21st century university must adopt a forward thinking approach; be adaptive, innovative and agile; foster interdisciplinary and integrative research and education; and become transformative. Graduate education is a critical component of the new modern university and transforming the system of graduate education can facilitate change in the university as well as to prepare the future faculty, scientists and administrators to lead the 21st century university.
