Introduction |

|
Graduate education embraces study for all degrees and certificates
beyond the bachelor's degree—principally the master's
and doctor's degrees. Graduate degrees fall into two broad categories:
(1) Professional—degrees awarded by each professional college
and school in recognition of a student's command of a comprehensive
body of professional knowledge and the ability to organize and carry
out investigation of significant problems in the field. (2) Academic—degrees
awarded by the academic departments, some professional schools, and
interdisciplinary graduate groups in recognition of a student's
command of a wide range of related subjects within an academic field,
preparation in one or more foreign languages, and ability to pursue
original research leading to a significant contribution to a field of
study.
A list of graduate degrees appears later in this section. For complete
information on regulations and procedures for graduate students, see
Academic Policies. |
