Historical NoteReturn to Top

The Graduate Council was organized in 1946 in order to establish rules and procedures for the operation of the Graduate School. It is responsible for the review and evaluation of all existing departments and programs that award graduate and undergraduate degrees and certificates. The Graduate Council also reviews and evaluates proposals for new graduate degrees and certificates; academic administrative units (e.g., departments, divisions); centers, institutes and bureaus and proposals for name changes or major revisions of the preceding. The administration of professional degrees may also be delegated by the Graduate Council to colleges, schools, and departments.
