The Graduate Studies Committee is a sub-committee of the University Senate. It determines Graduate School policy and is responsible for graduate curriculum and standards. The voting membership comprises six members of the faculty (one from each academic college; three-year terms), two program directors (two-year terms), and two graduate students (one-year terms), one of whom is the President of the Graduate Students Association. The Dean and Associate Dean of the College of Graduate Studies and Research and the Director of the University Library are ex officio members. Subcommittees of the Graduate Studies Committee review new and changed graduate courses, review applications for Graduate Faculty status, and make selections for graduate student awards.
