The program
of study leading to the M.Sc. degree requires course work and a thesis
(non-thesis option is available). The thesis is based on a research project
that involves, in part, original material.
The Ph.D.
is awarded upon achievement of a high degree of mastery in a field of knowledge
and upon demonstration of a distinct ability to make a substantial creative
contribution to that field. The mastery in a field of knowledge is demonstrated
through course work and examinations; the creatrive contribution to that
field is demonstrated through the dissertation.
Each
graduate student (full-time or part-time) has a faculty advisor. This professor
helps the student plan an academic program of course work consistent with
the degree requirements and the sudents' educational objective. The advisor
also supervises the student's research and thesis/dissertation.
A studdent
is assigned an advisor at the time of initial registration. If, at that
time, the student specifies his/her future research interest in a specific
area, then the advisor represents that area. For students with no
clearly specified research interests, the advisor directs the entering
student's work during the period in which the student is becoming acquinted
with the institution and determining the focus of research interests. The
student may request a change of advisor any time before the appointment
of his/her Master's/Doctoral Commitee.
