Campus Health and Safety Programs
Graduate education is rigorous, specialized training in particular academic and professional fields and is generally considered to include all postbaccalaureate programs with the exception of the first professional degree programs in medicine, veterinary medicine, dentistry, law, and theology. Traditional graduate education programs culminate with the award of a doctor's or master's degree although certificate programs at the postmaster's and postdoctoral levels have increased. Admission to graduate degree programs in the United States is usually based on students' undergraduate records, recommendations by professors, and scores on the Graduate Record Examinations.
