Council of the Graduate Professional Schools
Responsibilities of the Professional School Council are outlined in the Faculty Handbook as follows:
Section VI.C.2.c.
Subject to the approval of the Board of Trustees, the Council of the Graduate Professional Schools recommends the establishment or discontinuation of graduate professional degree programs and requirements for the Brandeis International Business School, the Heller School for Social Policy and Management, and the Rabb School of Continuing Studies. The Council reviews proposals with respect to programs of graduate studies; makes recommendations for the award of advanced degrees; and formulates, subject to the approval of the appropriate professional school Dean or Provost, regulations governing these schools. The Provost ensures that changes in the graduate professional curricula that have important consequences for Arts and Sciences programs are brought to the attention of the Dean of Arts and Sciences and either the Undergraduate Curriculum Committee or the Council of the Graduate School, as appropriate, for review.
Section VI.C.2.e.
The Provost and/or Dean of Arts and Sciences will inform the Faculty Senate and Faculty Meeting of recommendations by the School Councils for major change or discontinuation of academic programs sufficiently in advance of their submission to the Board of Trustees for approval to permit deliberation of such recommendations.
