The student must have a minimum grade point average of 3.0/4.0 in the core areas. Aside from the core courses, coursework may be selected (with adviser approval) to satisfy the needs of the individual student.
Up to 9 credit hours in 400-level courses may be selected in some cases to overcome deficiencies or broaden the student’s background. In addition, master’s degree students take 6-8 credit hours of research (ENVE 591). The final step in this program is an oral defense of the thesis; no additional written comprehensive exam is required.
