The Council initiates, reviews, and recommends university-wide policy and new directions for graduate education. Graduate education issues that also involve an international component should contact the University International Council.

The Graduate Council also recommends to the University Curriculum Council the initiation, implementation, and elimination of graduate programs and degrees at Ohio University. Other recommendations by the council go through the Provost to the President for final approval. The composition of the Graduate Council represents departments and schools that grant master's degrees and that award doctoral degrees. Meetings take place in the Walter Hall Governance Room and are open to the public. See below for the meeting schedule.
