Regular graduate faculty may be granted one of three levels that differ in responsibilities. Regular level 1 graduate faculty may teach graduate courses in their specialization and serve as members of master’s and specialist’s committees only and may not chair any committees. Regular level 2 graduate faculty may teach graduate courses in their specialization, serve and/or chair master’s specialist’s committees, and may serve on doctoral committees. Regular level 3 graduate faculty may teach graduate courses in their specialization, serve and/or chair master’s, specialist’s, and/or doctoral committees. Graduate faculty granted regular 1, 2, and 3 status are reviewed every five years for renewal. Associate graduate faculty are appointed on an annual basis and may teach graduate courses in their specialization and/or serve on master’s, specialist’s and/or doctoral committees.
