Office of Graduate Studies

The College of Engineering and Computing Office of Graduate Studies (CECGS) provides proactive CEC-wide leadership, supervision, guidance, and accountability for CEC graduate affairs.  

The Office works as a bridge for graduate affairs between CEC department-level responsibilities and university-level responsibilities with regard to: graduate student recruitment and admissions; graduate student advising, oversight, conflict resolution, and academic policy and program development and management.
