Graduate Catalog 2022-23


Welcome to the Graduate Catalog 

The online catalog management system (Acalog ACMSTM) contains a number of features to assist you, including advanced search options, intuitive navigation and a personal portfolio to store favorite programs and courses. Whether you are a prospective student or already enrolled at Western Michigan University, the catalog is a powerful tool to help you quickly locate undergraduate programs and courses. Not all courses listed in this catalog are offered every semester. It is important to visit your academic advisor on a regular basis to stay on track to graduate. Links to additional information can be found in the left navigation menu.

Purpose of the Catalog

The catalog should be used as a guide, in conjunction with your academic advisor, to plan a course of study and to meet requirements for graduation.
