Graduate Studies at WKU provides advanced students the opportunity to study, conduct research, and contribute to their academic field. 

The Graduate Catalog in its entirety represents University Policy (Policy 1.0004) which must be followed and met before a credential is awarded. The Executive Director for Graduate Studies is charged with the administration of Graduate Studies policies and certifies that candidates have fulfilled their requirements for advanced degrees and certificates. The Executive Director for Graduate Studies is advised by the Graduate Council, a standing committee of the Faculty Senate. The University reserves the right to make changes as necessary in course offerings, curricula, academic policies, rules and regulations. The student is responsible for knowing and fulfilling all degree and certificate related requirements. Appeals of Graduate Policies are considered first by the Executive Director for Graduate Studies. Further appeals of those decisions may be submitted to the Office of the Registrar for consideration by the Committee on Graduate Credits and Graduation. Detailed information regarding the submission of an appeal is available from the Office of the Registrar and on the Office of the Registrar website at https://www.wku.edu/registrar/.
