Prospective students should note that “graduate study” means an integrated program of advanced, specialized study, based on an undergraduate major and/or adequate background, presupposing academic and personal maturity, and making much more than average demand upon the industry, initiative, and scholarship of the student. The term must be distinguished from “post-graduation study” which means merely that courses, not necessarily of graduate level, are taken after the student has received a bachelor’s degree.
To preserve its ideals of scholarship, conduct, and character, the Graduate School reserves the right and the student by their registration concedes the right to require the withdrawal of any student for any reason deemed sufficient by the Graduate School at any time.
