Graduation occurs once all specific requirements of a master’s or doctoral program are completed. It is important to consider barriers students may face when completing degree requirements and support structures that prepare them for their careers from goal setting and offering mock interviews to securing a job in their desired field. Formalizing previously informal structures is a part of equity and inclusion, so even if these questions do not explicitly mention disproportionality, improving these systems overall will be more impactful for URM students.
