Graduate Studies Committee

The GSC will assess and make recommendations on new and existing graduate programs in the College of Pharmacy.
The GSC will determine how the College can attract/fund more graduate students, including exploring means to place matriculating Pharmacy students into college graduate programs.
The GSC will coordinate and implement new processes and procedures as they relate to graduate education issues in the college.
The GSC will oversee the Teaching Assistant needs of the College.
