Graduate Program
Master's Program
Each candidate for a terminal Master's degree
must pass a Master's comprehensive examination administered by the department,
and meet specified course and credit requirements. The Master's comprehensive
examination shall be prepared by a committee of at least three faculty
members appointed by the Chairperson as necessary. This committee shall
evaluate the Master's comprehensive examinations in conjunction with the
graduate faculty. Generally, no more than three (3) credits of PH 799
Readings and Research may be applied to any Master's program.
Thesis
This program requires thirty (30) credits that normally consist of twenty-seven
(27) credits of course work plus three (3) thesis credits (PH 801). Required
courses include the following: PH 711, PH 721, PH 732, PH 741, and PH
707-708. The Master's comprehensive examination is essentially based on
the contents of the first four required courses and is usually taken at
the first opportunity following the completion of these courses. The M.S.
thesis research is performed under the direction of a full-time member
of the graduate faculty, professional or research staff. A submitted thesis
shall have at least two faculty readers, including the director, assigned
by the Chairperson. The thesis is accepted after the successful completion
of a public oral examination conducted by the readers.
Non Thesis
This program requires thirty-two(32) credits of course work. The same
courses and Master's comprehensive examination requirements for the M.S.
with thesis apply here except that, in addition, the courses PH 722 and PH 742 are required.
