Degree
Requirements
The Non-Thesis Master's program:
Students may choose the non-thesis option for their master’s degree. The degree requirements differ from the thesis option in two aspects. First, the student can petition to be exempt from the thesis requirement, including the 6 credits it entails by substitution of graduate project. Second, the candidate will be required to pass a comprehensive final examination. This exam will be given by a committee selected by the department. The membership of this committee may include faculty and engineers from industry. The exam is intended to test the candidate’s general ability in the areas of study and it will be given near the end of the candidate’s final semester. A student who fails the exam may not attempt it again until one semester has elapsed or upon the completion of additional course work prescribed by the examining committee. The exam may be taken only once. For more information, click
here.
The Thesis Master's program consists
of 24 semester credit hours of course work,
a minimum of 6 semester
credit hours of Master’s Thesis, and a final
oral examination that includes an oral defense
of the thesis.
