What is a Graduate Group? Is it different than a department?
A graduate group is an interdisciplinary graduate entity that confers an advanced degree above the B.A. Initially formed to combine the talents and skills of faculty and students from a variety of broad areas in order to offer specialties in an interdepartmental subject, graduate groups have grown in size and importance at UC Davis. The graduate group structure provides flexibility in forging intellectual inquiries by facilitating combinations of faculty and students that a disciplinary departmental structure might not make possible. However, it is important to keep in mind that the affiliated faculty in a graduate group all hold appointments in other home departments and programs and their ability to contribute to the graduate group may vary over time.
