About the Graduate Council

Excellence in Graduate Studies is cultivated in part by the Graduate Council. The Graduate Council is a consultative body comprised of passionate, dedicated faculty and staff from throughout the university, who develop, research and recommend policy with the core values of academic excellence, educational opportunity and diversity at the forefront. For a closer look at the scope and character of Graduate Studies, you may review GovState Policy 16. Additionally, you may review the Graduate Capstone Handbook.
