The "Graduate Advisory Committee Membership Grid" is available for students and advisors. (PDF document, 1 page)

2008-2009 Graduate Catalog is now online. As soon as additional information is available, the catalog will be updated with the '08-'09 roster of members of the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education, the Regional University System of Oklahoma, the graduate faculty, and an update of tuition and fees.

Unfortunately, a few errors made their way into the printed catalog; they have been corrected as they have been discovered; you should consider that the online catalog is the "corrected copy."
