Graduate Educational Policy and Curriculum Committee (GEPCC)
Graduate Students | College of Health and Human Sciences
The Graduate Educational Policy and Curriculum Committee consists of the associate dean for graduate programs, who serves as chair, and each department and school’s graduate committee chair. The dean also appoints one or more graduate student members to the committee. This committee focuses on matters such as the improvement of graduate instruction, interdisciplinary graduate programs and policy issues related to the college’s graduate programs. The committee also evaluates proposals for creating or revising graduate courses and programs.
The purpose of this committee is to be a liaison with your department and the Graduate School and to provide advice and discussion regarding:
- Graduate program-related initiatives
- Best practices
- Issues that need to be addressed
- Graduate program fellowships, grant applications and awards
