Graduate Committees
Committees
In addition to all matters pertaining to graduate students, the Graduate School is responsible for the organization of the Graduate Council and is centrally involved in the process of adding new course and programs (both graduate and undergraduate). The Graduate School is also the home college for many interdisciplinary degree programs (M.S. and Ph.D. in Cell & Molecular Biology (CEMB), M.A. and Ph.D. in Comparative Literature and Cultural Studies (CLCS), M.S. and Ph.D. in Microelectronics-Photonics (MEPH), M.F.A. in Translation (TRAN), Ph.D. in Environmental Dynamics (ENDY), Ph.D. in Plant Science (PTSC), Ph.D. in Public Policy (PUBP), and M.S. and Ph.D. in Space and Planetary Sciences (CSAPS)) and one graduate certificate program (Gerontology (GERO)). From this page, we provide links useful for each of these areas.
Graduate Students In Action
Jason McAfee measures soil respiration, while Dr. Curt Rom, professor of horticulture, samples soil for organic matter. McAfee earned his master's degree in horticulture in 2006 and now works as a technician with Dr. Rom's team on a USDA grant funded project to study organic production systems and orchard ecology. See the feature article on Dr. Rom's research in Research Frontiers magazine.
