A student must complete the required course work satisfactorily and meet University requirements for graduation; consult the Graduate Bulletin for further information. In addition, a thesis is required for this degree program.
The thesis is written under the direction of a faculty member
who works closely with the student in both the reseach and the
writing of the thesis. The student can choose any faculty
member in the program to be the thesis adviser. The student
and the adviser will determine the topic of the thesis,
generally on a topic of interest to both. The average student
takes 6 months or less to complete a thesis.
