What is the difference between a Rackham program and degree and a non-Rackham program and degree?
Rackham Programs & Degrees vs Non-Rackham Programs & Degrees
There are 18 schools and colleges at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, all of which have post-baccalaureate programs. These post-baccalaureate programs may be classed in three categories:
- First Professional degrees that provide training for licensure in a profession, including Law, Medicine, Dentistry, and Pharmacy. These are not Rackham programs.
- Graduate degrees that provide training to pursue a range of professional career paths (e.g., in business, social work, public health, the performing arts.) These are not Rackham programs.
- Graduate degrees that focus more narrowly on academic subjects to pursue research and teaching paths rather than professional paths. These are the programs housed in the Rackham Graduate School, which is the administrative home for all University of Michigan-Ann Arbor academic graduate degrees, including all M.A., M.S., M.F.A. and Ph.D. programs.
Of the 18 schools and colleges at the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor:
- Some units provide only Rackham programs at the graduate level. These units are: Art & Design, Education, Information, Kinesiology, Literature Science & Arts, and Natural Resources.
- Some units provide both Rackham and non-Rackham graduate programs. These units are: Architecture, Business, Dentistry, English, Medicine, Music, Pharmacy, Public Health, and Social Work.
- Only the Law School has no degree associated with the Rackham Graduate School.
There are also both Rackham and non- Rackham programs offered on the Flint and Dearborn campuses. Details on those post-baccalaureate programs may be found on the appropriate campus websites.
