Admission to Graduation

From Admission to Graduation

Being accepted into a master's program is the first step in the journey through a graduate degree program. Upon entering graduate school, you will need to seek answers to a series of questions about time lines, deadlines, Office of Graduate Studies procedures, departmental requirements, and university policies. As you progress through your coursework, the "how to" questions will surface.

  • How are graduate committees established?
  • How are thesis/project topics chosen?
  • How is a graduate program approved?
  • What are the requirements for a thesis or project?
  • Are there qualified typists?
  • Etc.
This site has been developed in reponse to graduate student questions and needs. While it is not possible to address all potential situations, we have attempted to answer the most commonly asked questions. The following pages in this site will hopefully guide you in your graduate program.
