Master of Science
The Master of Science program is designed for students interested in careers in
industry and government, and academia. These degree programs do not require a thesis
and are usually completed in two years. Students in the programs are encouraged to
participate in the department's
consulting service.
Besides the general requirements of the Graduate School
for the degree of Master of Science, the student must
complete the following requirements:
- Plan of Study. An acceptable plan of study should be submitted electronically to the Graduate School by the end of the first session. The courses and the credit hours on the plan of study should be in accordance with any one of the programs listed below.
- Examinations and Course Requirements. An oral
examination is required, but this, as well as some course
requirements, may be fulfilled by passing a suitable
comprehensive examination at an appropriate level.
Substitution of more advanced courses for required ones
is generally encouraged.
- Admission to Candidacy. To be formally admitted to
candidacy for the M.S. degree, the student must have
fulfilled the preceding requirements. Admission to
candidacy will not be granted to students who fail to
achieve acceptable levels in their course grades.
