The Graduate School was founded in 1985 and its main
purpose is to provide leadership, administration, and representation for the
University's graduate programs. The dean of the graduate school is responsible
for the executive and administrative affairs of the graduate school. For more

Graduate Council. The graduate council, whose voting members are elected by the graduate faculty, reviews, develops and makes recommendations concerning graduate school policy. All curricular proposals and all criteria for membership in the graduate faculty come before the graduate council, which also creates appropriate committees and hears grievances. In addition, the graduate council serves in an advisory capacity to the dean of the graduate school.
