Graduate College Programs of Study

The graduate programs offered by the Graduate College, through the various divisions, schools, institutes, centers, and departments are described here; the areas of specialization within these programs are described as well. Included also are the offerings of several interdisciplinary areas of concentration, such as computational science and engineering, cultural studies and interpretive research, neuroscience, nutritional sciences, second language acquisition and teacher education, women's studies, and writing studies.

The minimum requirements for admission and other requirements for graduate degrees are given for each program. Prospective students are reminded that they are seeking admission to the Graduate College and cannot be admitted to the college or to a particular academic department offering programs leading to advanced degrees without satisfying the admission requirements of both. Likewise, both departmental and Graduate College requirements must be met before an advanced degree is awarded by the University.

The Courses catalog, published biennially, lists all undergraduate and graduate courses offered at the Urbana-Champaign campus. A listing of courses offered each term is published in the Timetable, issued in March for the summer session, in April for the fall semester, and in October for the spring semester. Copies of the Courses catalog are sold at the Illini Union Bookstore, 809 South Wright Street, Champaign, IL 61820. Copies can also be purchased by mail from the bookstore. The Timetable is available free of charge at the information desk of the Illini Union. The graduate application for admission packet is available free of charge from the Graduate College, 202 Coble Hall, 801 South Wright Street, Champaign, IL 61820.
