OGSPS
Administering Graduate Programs & Graduate Council
The Office of the Vice Provost for Graduate Students and Postdoctoral Scholars (OGSPS) oversees the development of all academic graduate programs, including, all graduate degrees, certificates, concentrations, and courses across more than 150 graduate degree programs. Graduate Council, the faculty body responsible for endorsing academic policies and approving new graduate programs and courses, is under the purview of OGSPS. OGSPS is responsible for implementation of academic and administrative policies involving graduate education for system-wide graduate programs, recognizing the origin of policies and the impact of policy changes to other campuses and offices.
