Program Curriculum
Course Structure
- Students may choose between a thesis option, a non-thesis course-only option, and a non-thesis project option. All students must file a Master\x92s Program Plan with the departmental graduate committee specifying which option they have selected, a semester-by-semester schedule of the courses they intend to take, and the members of the student\x92s master\x92s committee.
- Students may change between options one time by filing an amended Master\x92s Program Plan and with approval of the departmental graduate committee. A student who receives financial support under a research assistantship is enrolled in the thesis option by default. Students who have held a research assistantship will require approval from the departmental graduate committee to change to one of the non-thesis options.
