Graduate Handbook

This handbook is intended for students currently enrolled in our department's Certificate, M.S., M.A., and Ph.D. programs.  It does not contain information on admissions. (For admissions information, see http://writingstudies.umn.edu/grad/ and select the degree you're interested in.)

Considerable effort has been taken to assure that the information in this handbook is accurate.  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.
