³ÉÈËÍ·Ìõ

All units that offer a graduate program must have a Program Committee on ³ÉÈËÍ·Ìõ Studies that oversees their respective graduate program.  ³ÉÈËÍ·Ìõ Program Committees must also identify a ³ÉÈËÍ·Ìõ Program Director to represent the program (see ³ÉÈËÍ·Ìõ School By-Laws for responsibilities of ³ÉÈËÍ·Ìõ Program Committees and Directors).

The ³ÉÈËÍ·Ìõ Council serves as the administrative arm for the regular members of the ³ÉÈËÍ·Ìõ Faculty and guides university policies for graduate education.  The ³ÉÈËÍ·Ìõ Council is comprised of 20 members: 

• Chair of the ³ÉÈËÍ·Ìõ 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 ³ÉÈËÍ·Ìõ school (ex-officio)
• A student representative (non-voting)

³ÉÈËÍ·Ìõ 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 ³ÉÈËÍ·Ìõ School and the ³ÉÈËÍ·Ìõ Council. The ³ÉÈËÍ·Ìõ School office steers all administrative tasks of the ³ÉÈËÍ·Ìõ Council including procedures and communication concerning new graduate programs and program/curriculum revisions.
