Graduate Faculty

This is an archived copy of the 2019-20 catalog. To access the most recent version of the catalog, please visit http://catalog.msstate.edu.

Within Principles of Accreditation: Foundations for Quality Enhancement, the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools’ Commission on Colleges, the following statement concerning faculty appears.

The institution employs competent faculty members qualified to accomplish the mission and goals of the institution. When determining acceptable qualifications of its faculty, an institution gives primary consideration to the highest earned degree in the discipline. The institution also considers competence, effectiveness, and capacity, including, as appropriate, undergraduate and graduate degrees, related work experiences in the field, professional licensure and certifications, honors and awards, continuous documented excellence in teaching, or other demonstrated competencies and achievements that contribute to effective teaching and student learning outcomes. For all cases, the institution is responsible for justifying and documenting the qualifications of its faculty. (Comprehensive Standard 3.7.1, December 2008)

With the approval of the Dean of the College, each department offering graduate programs will determine procedures for handling recommendations or appeals concerning Graduate Faculty appointments, reappointments, or changes of membership status. The criteria and procedures set by the department and/or the college must be consistent with the qualifications and responsibilities outlined below, but may be more restrictive.

Graduate Faculty members are listed in the Catalog of the Graduate School by college/department.

Graduate Faculty Criterion

MSU graduate faculty members are employees of Mississippi State University. Other criteria for holding an MSU graduate faculty appointment follow:

earned a terminal degree (highest degree awarded in the discipline) in or related to the faculty member’s area of graduate discipline;
be a full-time employee of Mississippi State University, holding the rank of assistant professor, assistant research professor, assistant extension professor, assistant clinical professor or higher without any qualifying designations such as 'visiting,' 'emeritus,' or 'adjunct'; and
have demonstrated and maintained noteworthy accomplishments in research and/or creative achievement, as defined in the Faculty Handbook (6.1.2)

Government affiliates embedded in the university may be considered MSU graduate faculty by agreement.

MSU graduate faculty may:

teach graduate-level courses in each field of specialization if the individual meets all requirements outlined in AOP 13.09, Credentials for Teaching;
serve as members of doctoral and master's/education specialist committees within or outside of the department/program of appointment; and
serve as a chair of doctoral, master's, or educational specialist committees and may serve as the director of thesis and dissertation research within the faculty member's area of graduate responsibility.

Graduate faculty members are appointed through submission of the 'Application to Graduate Faculty' form, which is approved by the Department Head and Academic Dean. Reappointment to graduate faculty is not required provided the faculty member remains full-time faculty (as described in the second bullet under graduate faculty qualifications) of Mississippi State University and remains affiliated with an academic program. Removal of a faculty member from graduate faculty is at the discretion of the Department Head, Academic Dean, and Graduate School Dean.

MSU graduate faculty members are listed by college/department in the Graduate Catalog.

Non-Graduate Faculty Committee Members

At minimum, greater than 50% of the committee members must be members of MSU graduate faculty. A non-graduate faculty member is anyone external to Mississippi State University or Mississippi State employees who are not graduate faculty. Non-graduate faculty committee members are expected to have a graduate degree or commensurate expertise in the field of study. The decision of whether or not non-graduate faculty members are qualified to serve on a thesis or dissertation committee is determined by the program/college.

If a non-graduate faculty committee member serves as the director of research, it is expected the individual will have education and research expertise commensurate with MSU graduate faculty.

Thesis/Dissertation Director

A thesis/dissertation director is the individual primarily responsible for providing oversight for a master’s, educational specialist, or doctoral student’s research. Any member of a student’s graduate committee may be designated as the thesis/dissertation director on the committee request form. Typically, the major professor serves in this role. In the rare case when the thesis/dissertation director is not the major professor, then coordination between the thesis/dissertation director and the major professor is required. The major professor will be primarily responsible for academic advising and ensuring the student meets all the programmatic requirements for the degree.

Committee Membership Changes

Committee membership changes are submitted to the Graduate School on the 'Request for Change of Committee Members' form. The new committee member(s), student, Major Professor, Graduate Coordinator and Department Head must sign the form. If a student’s request to remove a member of the graduate committee is not approved, the student may appeal the decision using the Graduate Appeals Process. All decisions will be provided in writing to the student, committee member(s), Major Professor, Graduate Coordinator, and Department Head if applicable. Faculty may appeal removal from a student’s committee using the Faculty Grievance Procedures (AOP 13.05).
