The Graduate College Handbook for Students, Faculty and Staff
Chapter IV: General Graduate Degree Requirements
Students are expected to be aware of and follow the policies and requirements in effect at their term of admission. Departmental and Graduate College policies may change subsequent to the term of admission, but subsequent changes in program requirements may not be imposed on students. Additional specific information on master’s degree requirements (see chapter V), and doctoral degree requirements (see chapter VI) can be found in this handbook.
A. Departmental Expectations
Requirements for specific graduate degrees and certificates are listed in the appropriate sections of the Programs of Study, and in departmental handbooks. All departments should distribute a handbook or statement to their graduate students (on paper or online) listing the requirements for the graduate degree programs to which they are admitted.
