Graduate Education Transition Catalog

Transition—The University of Minnesota is restructuring its administration of graduate education. As a result, information about graduate programs and graduate education policies is in transition. More information about the transition is available on the graduate education transformation website.

Catalog—The online and PDF versions of the 2009–11 Graduate School Catalog below were originally published August 2009. A new graduate education catalog will be available once policies, programs, and procedures impacted by the restructuring process are fully developed and approved.

In the interim, students may use the online and PDF versions of the 2009–11 catalog below as a reference; however, they are urged to contact the appropriate graduate program office for the most current program information. Information about policies and programs that have been introduced or changed since 2009 can be found at the links noted in the following paragraphs.

Policies—For a list of links to new policies that have already been approved and implemented, see New and Pending Graduate Education Policies. A number of policies are still under review; pending policies are also identified on that site. Unless or until policies referred to in the “Policies” and “General Information” sections (pages 3, 5, 8–29) of the 2009–11 Graduate School Catalog (found in the “Introduction, General Information, and list of major and degree programs” PDF below) are replaced, those policies remain in effect.

Programs—New graduate programs have been added since the 2009–11 Graduate School Catalog was published. Others have been modified or discontinued. For a list of new, changed, or discontinued programs, see Graduate Program Updates (PDF).

Program Contact Information—Students can find contact information for most graduate program offices by selecting the program name from the menu at Twin Cities Campus Graduate Programs or Duluth Graduate Programs and clicking “View.” Contact information for cooperative or All-University programs is available by selecting the program name from the menus at Cooperative Programs or All-University Programs, respectively, and clicking “View.”

Students pursuing professional degrees or certificates should select the link to the appropriate professional school listed under the “Joint Programs, Certificates, and Professional Programs” heading on the University’s catalog index web page for program contact information.
