Graduate faculty are responsible for developing and implementing high-quality graduate programs that serve to stimulate research, innovation, and the sharing of ideas, and to provide advanced professional instruction and training. As a result, the members of the graduate faculty have special privileges and duties within graduate education, such as their roles in graduate student advising, mentorship, teaching, and committee membership related to theses, dissertations and other culminating projects. Graduate faculty appointments are initiated for faculty with job responsibilities tied to graduate education upon initial hire to Boise State University, or for faculty whose job responsibilities evolve to include activities related to graduate education.
The Graduate College appoints individuals to the graduate faculty based upon employment status and assigned responsibilities. All members of the graduate faculty must possess a graduate degree at the time of appointment. Check the current Graduate Faculty Listing.
