Additional undergraduate courses, including prerequisites to required graduate courses, may be required to remedy deficiencies in background.

Thesis

Part of the program is conducting original research. A thesis describing this research is submitted and defended at the program鈥檚 conclusion.

Language Requirement

In certain areas of research, familiarity with languages other than English may be important so a student鈥檚 supervisory committee may require a reading knowledge of one such language.
