Relationship between the Graduate School and the Graduate Studies Committee

The Graduate School at The Ohio State University includes university faculty authorized to give graduate instruction, the graduate faculty, the Council on Research and Graduate Studies, and an administration. The Council on Research and Graduate Studies is the principal legislative body of the Graduate School and initiates policies and rules governing graduate programs. Members of the Council include elected graduate faculty and graduate student members. Members of the graduate faculty are those members of the university faculty approved by the executive committee of the Council. The Dean of the Graduate School chairs the Council.

Departmental Graduate Studies Committees conduct the graduate programs of the Graduate School and serve as the liaison between the Graduate School and the graduate faculty. The policies, rules, and procedures established by the Council on Research and Graduate Studies serve as the framework and set the minimum standards within which the NELC Graduate Studies Committee formulates, publishes, and makes available its own graduate program policies, rules, and procedures. The OSU General Graduate School Handbook [PDF] is the primary reference for policies, rules, procedures, and general information concerning graduate education and research at The Ohio State University.
