Graduate Faculty

Graduate Faculty are selected by the Graduate School to be the teachers and advisors of Graduate Students.

Members are selected on the basis of academic training, experience, demonstrated potential for creative work and scholarly research, and evidence of the ability and competency essential to directing and supervising graduate students in their pursuit of advanced knowledge.

Specifically, the duties of the Graduate Faculty are to:

Teach Graduate Courses
Direct non-thesis students
Serve on graduate student committees
Direct master's theses
Direct doctoral theses

In general, it is expected that new faculty will be first appointed as Associate members. To qualify for Regular status, the faculty member should be fully engaged in multiple aspects of graduate education, mentoring of graduate students, and research. This includes such experiences at former institutions offering graduate education.
