Graduate Handbook
This handbook is intended for students currently enrolled in our department’s M.S., M.A., and Ph.D. programs. It does not contain information on admissions nor a description of courses. Course titles and descriptions can be found in University Catalogs.
Considerable effort has been taken to assure that the information in this handbook is accurate as of fall 2007. But nothing in this handbook can supersede the rules and regulations of the Graduate School or other University of Minnesota bodies. Rules and regulations governing all graduate programs at the University of Minnesota are set forth in the Graduate School Catalog and at the Graduate School website. View an especially informative site for procedures and forms.
