New Graduate Students


The following sessions are mandatory for all new graduate students Joining a Research Group
One of your first and most significant tasks as a graduate student will be to choose a research advisor from our departmental faculty or those faculty members who have a joint appointment with our department. Visit the individual faculty pages of our website to learn about each professor's current research topics. Speak to the professor of your choice about joining his/her group. Once you have been admitted, you must submit a permanent adviser form to the Graduate Advising Office.
