¹û½´ÊÓƵ

All units that offer a graduate program must have a Program Committee on ¹û½´ÊÓƵ Studies that oversees their respective graduate program.  ¹û½´ÊÓƵ Program Committees must also identify a ¹û½´ÊÓƵ Program Director to represent the program (see ¹û½´ÊÓƵ School By-Laws for responsibilities of ¹û½´ÊÓƵ Program Committees and Directors).

The ¹û½´ÊÓƵ Council serves as the administrative arm for the regular members of the ¹û½´ÊÓƵ Faculty and guides university policies for graduate education.  The ¹û½´ÊÓƵ Council is comprised of 20 members: 

• Chair of the ¹û½´ÊÓƵ Council
• Two members each from the College of Education, College of Engineering, College of Health Sciences, College of Liberal Arts, College of Science, and the Woody L. Hunt Colleges of Business;
• Four at-large members
• President of the Faculty Senate
• The Dean of the ¹û½´ÊÓƵ school (ex-officio)
• A student representative (non-voting)

¹û½´ÊÓƵ encourages progressive and continuous improvement of its academic programs. Each Department assumes responsibility for all graduate programs within its area or interdisciplinary program unit. All official communication and information concerning application for new graduate degree programs and program revisions approved by Department Committees and Chairs go through the Academic Dean to the Head of ¹û½´ÊÓƵ School and the ¹û½´ÊÓƵ Council. The ¹û½´ÊÓƵ School office steers all administrative tasks of the ¹û½´ÊÓƵ Council including procedures and communication concerning new graduate programs and program/curriculum revisions.
