Graduate and Professional Council (GPC)

The Graduate and Professional Council develops and maintains policies and procedures pertaining to graduate and professional programs at Texas A&M University. The Council’s function includes long-range planning, recommendation of new programs and courses, evaluation of existing programs and courses, and facilitation of university accreditation. The membership consists of one representative from each college or school and off-campus academic unit selected by the Faculty Senate Executive Committee, two representatives of the Graduate Faculty selected by the Faculty Senate Executive Committee, the Associate Provost and Dean of the Graduate and Professional School (ex-officio), and two graduate students who shall be selected by the Graduate and Professional Student Government. All of the above members – except the Associate Provost and Dean of the Graduate and Professional School and graduate student representatives – are voting members. A representative from the Graduate and Professional School and one representative of the University Library Council also serve as non-voting members. In the absence of the appointed member, a substitute may vote on behalf of that unit. 

Agenda items and questions may be sent via e-mail to the Graduate and Professional Council Administrative Assistant at GPCAdmin@tamu.edu.
