Graduate School Information

The University and Graduate School maintains a number of information sources pertinent to graduate education. This page summarizes the most commonly requested information and frequently used reports.

Information - All graduate students

Upon request, the Graduate School can provide data about student outcomes for assessment and internal reviews to graduate programs.

The following WebFocus reports are helpful for information about all graduate students:

Career Services maintains a Career Outcomes Dashboard available on the portal area of WebFocus. Contact them for access or additional information.
