Plan I students will select specific courses with guidance from the Graduate Adviser in consultation with the Major Professor. Plan II students will select specific courses in consultation with the Graduate Adviser. Within an option, the student can specialize in one of a number of areas; some suggested specializations are:
A miminum of thirty (30) units of upper division and graduate courses
and a thesis are required. At least 12 of the 30 units must be in
graduate courses in the major field. Courses are selected with the
advice and consent of the student's Graduate Adviser and the Major Professor
who is Chair of the Thesis Committee which is nominated by the Graduate
Advisor and officially appointed by the Graduate Dean. The thesis
will be based on experimental research.
A minimum of thirty-six (36) units of upper division and graduate course work and a comprehensive final examination are required. At least 18 of the 36 units must be earned in graduate courses in the major field; no more than 9 of these 18 may be in research (299) courses. The group requires a minimum of 6 units of original research with a written report submitted to the Graduate Adviser. Courses are selected with the advice and consent of the student's Graduate Adviser. A faculty committee of three (3) is nominated by the Graduate Adviser and appointed by the Graduate Dean to administer the exam.
