Description: Archived website of The Graduate School at the University of Maryland, College Park. The Graduate School's mission is to provide for the education of students in the scholarly methods of intellectual inquiry and critical analysis; to train them in the discipline and skills necessary for beneficial research; and to foster in them a dedication to creative thought and the search for knowledge. In order to shape and participate in national policies and developments in graduate education, the Graduate School maintains close contact with other graduate schools and is a member of the Association of American Universities, the Association of Graduate Schools, and the Council of Graduate Schools in the United States. The Graduate School was formed during academic year 1918-1919 and was administered by the Graduate Council, which consisted of the president of the university, director of the experiment station, the dean and secretary of the school, and six members experienced in graduate school administration. The Graduate School has general jurisdiction over graduate work offered by various departments of the university. Its policies for establishment of standards and requirements for degrees rely upon precedents set forth by the Association of American Universities, an association of United States' graduate institutions of which the UMCP graduate school became a member in 1970. The Graduate School website includes information about its leadership, staff, publications, news, admissions, graduate programs, funding, policies, and governance.
