As a faculty member or graduate dean, I'd like to nominate one of our programs for the WRGP network. How does the process work?

If you would like to nominate a program, contact WICHE’s director of student exchange. WICHE requests nomination proposals every year or two, and the call for nominations is released in September. Programs are typically approved by the following May.

To be eligible, programs that aren’t related to healthcare must be “distinctive,” meaning they must be offered at no more than four other institutions in the WICHE region (exclusive of California). Given the tremendous needs in the healthcare workforce, healthcare-related programs are not subject to the “distinctiveness” criteria, but must be of high quality. WICHE is also seeking graduate programs in emerging fields, as well as professional science masters programs. For complete details, visit www.wiche.edu/wrgp and look for the nomination procedure information and forms.
