Note for research-Based Student (MES and PhD)

A student pursuing a research-based degree is expected to complete research that meets or exceeds a reasonable level of rigor and complexity. As such, a reasonable amount of time is necessary to pursue the research to an acceptable degree. To meet this requirement, ALL MES AND PHD STUDENTS are expected to have identified and come to an agreement with a faculty research mentor by the end of your first long semester. Failure to achieve this may result in transfer into the ME program or expulsion from the program

Degree Requirements

Students will complete 30 credit hours, including 24 credit hours of coursework and satisfactory completion and defense of a Master's thesis (a minimum of 6 credit hours.
