GRADUATE SCHOOL
www.miami.edu/grad
All graduate work (except for the Masters degree/J.D. in
Law, Masters in Business Administration and M.D. degree) at
the University of Miami is under the direction of the Dean
of the Graduate School and the Graduate Council.
All graduate students at the University of Miami are subject
to the general standards and requirements of the University
and its various programs in regard to attendance, examinations,
payment of fees, and conduct, as well as to the specific requirements
of the Graduate School. The graduate student is expected to
assume the initiative in completing all requirements in the
time specified.
Admission requirements are described in the Bulletin of the
Graduate School, and may be obtained from the individual department
or program. Information is also available on the Internet
at www.miami.edu/grad.
Application forms are distributed by and processed through
the various Schools and Colleges. See www.miami.edu/grad/apply
for a listing of online applications by program.
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
his/her registration concedes the right to require the withdrawal
of any student for any reason deemed sufficient by the Graduate
School at any time.
MISSION
The mission of the Graduate School is to promote graduate
education, scholarship, and research; to support individuals,
departments, and programs in the pursuit of excellence; to
foster innovative, multidisciplinary, and interdisciplinary
activities; and to maintain high ethical and academic standards
in graduate studies.
The standards of study and conduct in the Graduate School
are high. They are not set and maintained by the Graduate
School but rather by the faculty who determine the standards
for their individual program. The Graduate School through
its Council sets no course requirements for a degree. It does
set certain general residence, grade and examination standards.
Fundamentally the Graduate School delegates responsibility
to the student and his/her program. Within this broad responsibility
the recommendation for the degree rests with the Committee.
