The Graduate Coordinator also provides academic advising for all first year students. This includes drafting a plan for course work to complete the M.A. or Ph.D. degree and course registration information each semester.
During the first semester the Graduate
Coordinator holds information sessions on a range of topics. These
include preparing for comprehensive exams, writing a thesis prospectus,
submitting proposals for conference papers, joining professional
organizations, preparing for job interviews, and publishing scholarly
work.
Although during the second year of course work students
usually choose an Academic Advisor, the Graduate Coordinator continues
to provide course registration information. |
