Faculty members with the rank of professor, associate professor, assistant professor, or their equivalent are eligible to be nominated to the graduate faculty. Graduate faculty membership is in one of three categories (I, II, III), each of which provides authorization to participate in specified functions within the graduate program. While there are a number of distinctions among membership in the three categories, the most important concerns the supervision of doctoral dissertation research and eligibility to teach graduate-level courses. Membership in a given category is subject to review every four years.

A complete list of the qualifications and responsibilities of members of the Graduate Faculty is available from the School of Graduate Studies. (See UNT Policy Manual, Vol. III, #15.1.5.)
