This document does not include information on the rapidly changing landscape of Covid-19 requirements. As of this writing, full mask, distancing, limited building access are in place. Please contact the current chair with questions on updates.

This document is not encyclopedic, and among other things, it also do not address selection of research topic, formation of graduate committee, interaction issues with advisor(s), other faculty, and issues of discrimination, harassment, and equity. Many of these issues are addressed in the graduate handbook and welcome page (https://eps.rutgers.edu/academics/graduate/graduate-program) or will be addressed in other documents.
