General Requirements
The course work and research requirements of the programs are designed with the intent of offering students the opportunity for educational advancement and professional training. A research report, thesis, or dissertation is required in most of the programs and is offered as an option in others. The General Graduate Record Examination is required for admissions consideration in all graduate programs. Admission to graduate programs is based upon minimum Board of Regents criteria, as well as other factors such as work or internship experience, community service, research interests of prospective students, or personal interviews.Each department is headed by a chair who reports to the dean of the college. A graduate program coordinator within each department is designated for each graduate program and can provide advice on questions about admission and degree requirements.
