The Deanship of Graduate Studies at Mutah University was established in 1990 as one of the university's supporting deanships. It was initially tasked with overseeing graduate studies and scholarship programs in collaboration with the university's colleges and academic departments, reflecting the university's commitment to graduate education and providing pathways for students wishing to pursue master’s and doctoral degrees. In 2014, the Deanship of Graduate Studies was restructured as the College of Graduate Studies.

The college is dedicated to enhancing its role in delivering distinguished services to the community, striving to meet international standards by offering comprehensive support to all its programs and activities. This commitment is reflected in the steady expansion of graduate programs and the corresponding rise in enrolment from students of diverse nationalities across various programs.

Additionally, the College of Graduate Studies focuses on establishing organizational guidelines and procedures that foster academic and professional qualifications across a range of fields, to address the university’s needs for teaching faculty by sponsoring outstanding students at prestigious universities worldwide.

The college aims to advance every aspect of the graduate studies system, both academically and administratively, by supervising graduate programs at the university in coordination with various colleges, developing new graduate programs, and continuously refining existing ones. This approach supports the university’s mission and aligns with the needs of local community institutions.
