VI.C.2.c. Council of the Graduate Professional Schools

  • The Council of the Graduate Professional Schools considers matters related to graduate professional degree programs in the Heller School for Social Policy and Management, the Brandeis International Business School, the Rabb School of Continuing Studies, and the School of Arts and Sciences. Subject to the approval of the Board of Trustees, the Council of the Graduate Professional Schools recommends the establishment or discontinuation of these graduate professional degree programs and their requirements. The council reviews proposals with respect to these degree programs; makes recommendations for the award of advanced degrees; and formulates, subject to the approval of the appropriate school dean or provost, regulations governing these programs. The provost ensures that changes in the graduate professional curricula that have important consequences for Arts and Sciences academic 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.
