Bachelor's Degree
The Master of Science degree is granted upon fulfilling a structured curriculum, passing comprehensive examinations, delivering a formal presentation, and completing a research project culminating in a scholarly thesis. Students must present their findings in a public departmental seminar that examines relevant literature. A graded literature review must be submitted to the advisor and thesis committee before final thesis completion (typically due in the second year's fall semester for full-time students). The final thesis must demonstrate an advanced grasp of polymer science principles acquired through coursework and specialized research.
