The Guidance Committee of entering students (both PhD and MS) will be the GOC. The Guidance Committee's role will be to help the student with potential course offerings, potential rotation mentors, and anything else relating to academics. The GOC will be constituted to reflect the balance of disciplinary interests of the first year class and will serve as an advisory committee for the student until a Thesis Committee has been assembled.  A student will meet with his/her Guidance Committee at least once each semester to review progress.  Following the meeting, the student will summarize the decisions made and will submit the summary for placement in his/her file.
