In 1916, a Committee on Graduate Study was formed at the University of New Mexico to structure post-graduate programs that would provide students an opportunity to continue their education beyond the baccalaureate. One year later the first master’s degrees were awarded in Chemistry and Latin. In 1919 the University formally opened the Graduate School and in 1947 the first doctoral students graduated. The current name, Office of Graduate Studies (OGS), was adopted in 1977.
The University of New Mexico Graduate Studies is an active member of the Council of Graduate Schools and the Western Association of Graduate Schools, and the National Association of Graduate Admissions Professionals.
The Graduate Studies office is responsible for implementing the policies and procedures governing graduate education. Graduate Studies processes graduate assistantships, programs of studies and applications for candidacy. The office maintains graduate student academic records. Office personnel are also charged with processing graduate program materials, including new academic programs, curricular revisions and program reviews. Other graduate student services provided by the Graduate Studies office include assistance in seeking external funding, processing nominations for graduate student recognition and awards, awarding funds for research projects and travel and processing documents for graduation.

| The Senate Graduate Committee (SGC) |
The responsibility for maintaining and enhancing the quality of graduate education at the University and its graduate centers is delegated to the Senate Graduate Committee, which works in consultation with the College/School/Division Graduate Committees and the Dean of Graduate Studies. The SGC is responsible for the following: coordinating and monitoring graduate activities throughout the University; recommending to the Faculty Senate general policies concerning graduate education (including the creation and termination of graduate degrees); participating in periodic reviews of instructional units and programs; recommending to the general faculty the granting of graduate and honorary degrees; and acting as an appellate body when the need arises.
The Committee consists of at least one faculty member from each school or college. A Graduate and Professional Student Association (GPSA) representative is chosen on a yearly basis. No representatives may serve more than three consecutive terms. The Dean and Assistant Dean of Graduate Studies, the Registrar and the Vice Provost for Extended University are ex-officio members. Chairpersons serve a two-year term but do not represent their own school or college. That school or college will choose a new representative to serve out the chair’s term or begin a new two-year term, as appropriate.
