Manu Gupta, Ph.D.
Interim dean
Graduate programs are administered by the individual departments, schools and centers with assistance from the Graduate School. Major coordination of the various degree programs is performed by the University Graduate Council, which is chaired by the dean of the Graduate School. The University Graduate Council comprises two elected faculty members from each school and one elected faculty member from VCU Life Sciences.
The Graduate School section of the VCU Bulletins documents the official admission and academic rules and regulations that govern graduate education at the university. The University Graduate Council determines these policies.
Bulletins and course descriptions for the current and past years are now archived in the VCU Scholars Compass hosted by the VCU Libraries.
