Masters Requirement (Thesis)
Most graduate students in Molecular and Environmental Toxicology program are working toward the Ph.D. degree. Those who choose the M.S. degree program must earn at least 24 graded credits per Graduate School requirements. A master’s degree requires: - 12 academic credits will be taken from METC Graded Core Academic Courses
- 625 (3), 626 (3), 631 (3), 634 (1), and 812 (2)
- 12 of the remaining credits will be based on work accomplished in 990-Research
1. A minimum of 1½ years of graduate work with a grade of B or better.
2. Successful completion of all major course requirements is required for the M.S. degree. Exceptions to these requirements must be approved by the Curriculum Committee.
3. Masters Thesis as approved by Research Advisor Committee Graded core curriculum courses thus account for 12 of the credits required for Master of Science candidates. Credits earned while eliminating course deficiencies are not included in the required graduate-level credits.
Additional courses may be selected in accord with the candidate's research interests. No focal area need be identified, nor is there a teaching requirement.
The candidate carries out a research project in the laboratory of a participating faculty member and submits a M.S. thesis, documenting the research performed, to an examining committee. This committee administers a final oral examination covering materials from the candidate's course work and research project. Normally the Master's program is completed within three years of entrance.
