Major Professor
An integral part of the admissions process is the selection of a major professor in your intended area of study. Applications, when complete, are circulated throughout the faculty listed on the Graduate Studies Objectives form. Faculty, if able to serve, then sign on as major professor.The Major Professor is chairman of the student’s Advisory Committee and is the student’s primary source of advice on academic, scientific, and professional matters. The Major Professor will most likely be involved with a number of graduate students and other matters, so it is incumbent upon the student to use the Graduate School Bulletin and the Graduate Student Checklist to insure adequate progress toward graduation.
