Materials and Nanotechnology students are able pursue a master's degree under either the Plan A - Master's Thesis or the Plan C - Culminating Experience option. Each option requires a minimum of 30 graduate credits.
The Plan A thesis option represents a more traditional Master of Science degree, with an independent research component in the form of an original thesis that can serve as a foundation for future doctoral work in science or engineering. For the thesis option, of the required minimum 30 graduate credits, at least 16 credits must be from approved graduate courses numbered from 601-689, 691, 700-789, and 791. The research credits (798) must be 6-10 credits.
The Plan C option is appropriate for working professional students or students who are certain that they do not wish to pursue a doctorate in any field of science or engineering. In the context of the MNT program, this option requires a 6-10 credit culminating experience (794).
