Why is it important that growth of the graduate student population has not • kept pace with growth of the undergraduate population? • Graduate students are the research engine of a research university. • UCR aspires to become a major research university and a member of the AAU. • Members of the AAU are all major research universities. • To become a member of the AAU, UCR must have the profile of an AAU university. • Doctoral education is a Phase II AAU membership indicator.
