ORGANIZATION

The immediate direction of the Department of Graduate Studies is vested
in the Dean and an Administrative Committee of eight professors, appointed
by the President. The Faculty of the Graduate Department consists of
those professors in the Academic Schools and the Medical School who offer
graduate courses. Courses marked C are for graduates and advanced undergraduates;
those marked D are for graduates only, and usually for advanced
graduate students, candidates for the Ph.D. degree. In the Department of
Medicine the regular courses are evaluated as C courses; elective, special
