Making the Graduate Curriculum Explicit

Graduate programs and undergraduate programs have different objectives. The undergraduate program is designed to reproduce knowledge and to instill a certain canon of informatic. in students, who then will assume many different roles outside the university. The graduate program is designed both to produce knowledge and to reproduce the faculty, or at least to produce researchers capable of reproducing the faculty.1 Thus, the graduate program seeks to produce peers for the faculty. The faculty needs to enunciate a separate model of graduate education and to evaluate periodically the success of the graduate program.
