The College of Graduate Studies assists graduate programs and their faculty and students to succeed. The College of Graduate Studies supports program development, advising faculty in transforming existing degree and certificate programs or building new ones at the post-baccalaureate, master’s, or doctoral level. The College of Graduate Studies is also a resource for students seeking scholarships or who are facing special challenges such as probation or disqualification. The college helps maintain academic integrity through the fair and consistent administration of graduate policies, including those issued by the Chancellor and by the university’s Academic Senate. Graduate Admissions and Program Evaluations (GAPE) supports students as they enter and work their way through various degree requirements. The College of Graduate Studies interprets and administers policies and procedures as they relate to graduate studies.
The College of Graduate Studies oversees the Interdisciplinary Studies program for either a Master of Arts or a Master of Science degree provides an alternative for individuals whose desired study plans do not fit the degree offerings of any single existing degree program on campus. In most cases, a thesis is required for this degree. Applicants or graduate students in other majors who wish to undertake the Interdisciplinary Studies major should consult the College of Graduate Studies Interdisciplinary Studies website to obtain the Information and Application for Interdisciplinary Studies Majors [pdf]. The guide contains the Proposal for Interdisciplinary Studies Major, which must be completed to obtain initial approval by the Associate Dean of Graduate Studies to be able to enter the program.
