Important Notes |
General Information is limited to degree programs (academic plan majors) within the Graduate Career. More information on Graduate School degree programs can be found at https://grad.wisc.edu/academic-programs/. Domestic students who are of Hispanic/Latino(a) ethnicity and/or who report more than one race are included in each applicable category in the race/ethnicity filter. For example, if a student is of Hispanic ethnicity and also identifies as 'African American/Black', the dashboard will report the student whether the race/ethnicity filter is set to 'Hispanic/Latino(a)', 'African American/Black', or if both categories are selected. More information on Advanced Opportunity Fellowships and the Graduate Research Scholar program can be found at https://kb.wisc.edu/grad/33338. More information on pooled and non-pooled tuition programs can be found at https://kb.wisc.edu/grad/86672. Graduate School admissions reporting, including the reporting of new enrollments, is limited to new plan applicants (i.e. those who not previously enrolled in the academic program) who applied via the Graduate School application system. Students entering a new major plan via the Graduate School add/change process are not included in admissions reporting. Applicants receiving a departmental recommendation for admission (action reason codes G60, G61, G63, G65, G66) are counted as admitted. Applicants may also be counted as admitted if they are approved for admission by the Graduate School Office of Admissions (action reason codes G11, G13, G17, G18). |
