New Graduate Course and Curriculum

The Graduate School strongly suggests that faculty proposing a new graduate degree program or certificate meet with the Associate Dean of the Graduate School during the early stages of the proposal development, prior to submitting the proposal to the Graduate Council for approval. This meeting will help align the proposals with the required documents and procedures as well as to help identify any potential issues. This is especially important for interdisciplinary programs and certificates, as that process involves additional steps not outlined below.
