Announcements

  • Maya Abtahian will be taking over the role of Director of Graduate Studies (DGS) effective July 1, 2024. If you have any questions about the transition, don't hesitate to reach out to Scott Grimm or Maya Abtahian.
  • The department would like to clarify that students should not be waiting for guidance or direction on their research for their program. Research assistant positions are not guranteed and should not be relied on for initiating research. Students should be actively developing their research on their own. Faculty research is widely available on our website, and if something sparks your interest, it's your responsibility to initiate conversations.

What you'll find here

  • Important policies (both university-wide and departmental)
  • Guidance and timelines for program-specific processes (QPs, dissertations, MA theses, program requirements, detailed sample schedules, etc.)
  • Forms and internal tasks (add/drop forms, advisor change requests, QP extensions, annual graduate student self-evaluations, etc.)
  • FAQs (compiled from questions you and your peers have asked over the last year)
  • Course information, offering history, credit policies, etc.
  • And so much more!
