Self-Supporting Graduate Professional Degree Programs (SSGPDP) Advisory Committee

Committee Charge

The SSGPDP Advisory Committee actively engages with proposing units in supporting the development of proposals for Self-Supporting Graduate Professional Degree Programs (SSGPDPs) at UCLA. In particular, the SSGPDP Advisory Committee guides proposing units on how to fulfill all requirements associated with UCLA’s SSGPDP guidelines. They also inform the Graduate Council whether proposals satisfy the guidelines, and support the Graduate Council in the periodical review and audits of existing and new SSGPDPs.
