The Graduate Program Handbook summarizes the degree and course requirements for our study programs, our departmental policies and procedures, and, at appropriate points, the Graduate School’s policies and procedures, which set the general parameters of graduate study at UW-Madison
Remember: Students must meet the degree and course requirements in effect when they entered the program. Our administrative procedures and processes, however, can change over time. All students are required to follow current procedures and processes. If you would like to review earlier editions of the Graduate Program Handbook, please scroll down.
If you have any questions about the Graduate Program Handbook, please contact the Graduate Program Manager, Susan Nelson.
