Graduate education and research are inseparable in a comprehensive university. The administration of these two areas is coordinated by the senior vice president for research and dean of the Graduate Division.

The senior vice president for research and dean of the Graduate Division is responsible for the supervision, development, and improvement of graduate work. The dean is assisted by an assistant to the vice president for research and dean of the Graduate Division, an associate dean for programs and personnel, and an assistant dean for student academic services.

Graduate Council
Members of the Graduate Council are appointed by the senior vice president for research and dean of the Graduate Division upon recommendation by the associate dean of the Graduate Division. The council advises the dean on graduate courses, programs, and administrative matters.

Senate of the Graduate Division
The Senate of the Graduate Division is composed of the chairs of each graduate field of study. It functions as an advisory board to the dean of the Graduate Division on major policy matters and serves as a forum for discussion on matters pertaining to graduate study.

Chairs of the Graduate Fields of Study
The chairs of the graduate fields of study are appointed by the dean of the Graduate Division. The chairs in turn recommend faculty advisers or committees for graduate students working toward advanced degrees. If the dean of the Graduate Division concurs, he/she appoints the persons recommended by the chairs.

The chairs of the graduate fields of study serve as the liaison with the dean of the Graduate Division in matters of policy, rule changes, program effectiveness, and general graduate student affairs. They advise the dean on admission of graduate students, advise graduate students on their degree programs, review graduate student petitions, keep records on their graduate students, and certify that degree candidates have completed all requirements.
