Guidance for Graduate Programs

The Coordinating Committee on Graduate Affairs (CCGA) is a standing committee of the Academic Senate of the University of California. Their guidance requires that all graduate degree proposals include the following related to contributions to diversity:

  1. A vision for how the program will advance UC’s goals for diversity and
  2. A plan that details what steps the program will take in its first five years to move it toward the identification, recruitment, and retention of under-represented minority students and faculty.

The resources on this page provide templates and tools for use in proposal development.  Please review these materials before scheduling a consultation appointment with the Office of Inclusive Excellence.
