Degree Requirements

For students lacking an appropriate background, a customized program of bridge courses will be developed in consultation with the graduate advisor. These courses are in addition to the degree requirements and may have prerequisite courses that must also be completed.

A minimum of 30 degree credits is required (excluding bridge courses). Students must consult with their graduate advisor to develop a suitable program of study. A minimum GPA of 3.0 must be maintained in core courses and overall. Students who receive financial aid as Research Assistants must complete 6 credits of Master’s Thesis.

With permission of their research advisor, students intending to do an MS thesis should first register in the ENE 700B (Masters Project). Students must receive a satisfactory (S) grade in 700B before registering for ENE 701B (Master's Thesis). Students taking ENE 701B must register in the immediate following semester with the same advisor. The MS thesis topic should be continuation of the work done in ENE 700B.
