Graduate Studies Committee:

The Graduate Studies Committee is a panel of faculty that acts as an Academic Status Committee for the first and second year students in the IDP. This panel reviews progress in each course throughout the year, and makes decisions on whether students will be allowed to continue in the program. This panel also deals with students who wish to enter the program with advanced standing. This committee reports directly to the Associate Dean for Graduate Education.
