What will I learn?

For a degree of M.S. a student must complete at least 30 hours of graduate credit with specific stipulations as mentioned in the catalog. The degree has two options: (i) with a thesis and (ii) without a thesis. The thesis option involves at least 6 credits of research conducted under supervision of a thesis advisor. A thesis written and defended by the student in front of a committee of faculty members is necessary for this option to be completed. In addition to the required coursework, in the non-thesis option, a student must prepare a project report based either on literature research or independent research or a combination thereof, conducted under the supervision of the student's project advisor or co-advisors. The report should be prepared in accordance with the format specified by the advisory committee and the student should present an oral defense of the project results.
