Degree Plan

The Graduate Degree Plan is to be used for advising purposes and is not required to be submitted to the Graduate School. It is recommended, however, that doctoral students complete a Degree Plan, gain appropriate approval, and submit the document to the Graduate School to be placed in their official file.

The Graduate Degree Plan should be completed and submitted within the first month of enrollment in a degree program. This plan should be made with the advice and concurrence of the major advisor and the graduate committee. Only courses appearing on the approved program will be counted toward fulfilling degree requirements. Changes in the program may be made, using standard change forms, with the approval of the same persons who approved the original program (or their appropriate successors).
