2008 COGS Student Survey - New Reports Ready!

Master's Degree Results

The Council of Graduate Students (COGS) just released the results of its Biennial Graduate Student Survey conducted during spring 2008. COGS represents all graduate students at the University of Minnesota who are enrolled in programs through the Graduate School. Approximately 2000 students from 133 degree programs completed the survey with over half of respondents currently pursuing a PhD. The survey results showed that graduate students are very concerned about the increasing costs of graduate education and the shortage of assistantships and travel funding.
