Graduate Education Committee

The Graduate Education Committee (GEC) serves as the medium in which the Pharmaceutical Sciences on-campus graduate program is reviewed and aligned with the mission and goals of the College and University through the following objectives:

  • The GEC will assess and make recommendations on new and existing on-campus graduate programs in the College of Pharmacy.
  • The GEC will coordinate the recruitment and admissions of high-performing graduate students to the College of Pharmacy.
  • The GEC will develop and implement program-wide best practices, as they relate to graduate education issues in the college and in accordance with the Graduate School regulations.

The Graduate Education Committee is composed of the Associate Dean for Research and Graduate Education, Graduate Coordinators representing each of the departments within the College of Pharmacy that offer an on-campus graduate degree, and the President of the Graduate Student Organization. The Associate Dean for Research and Graduate Education serves as the Chair and is a non-voting member of the committee.  The GEC reports to the Dean and meets a minimum of six times per year.
