The thesis and thesis project require original explanation or resolution, or both, of a problem in the student's specialty area. This requirement may be fulfilled by taking an appropriate computer course at any accredited two or four-year college or at Columbia College before or during the student's first semester in the AEMM Graduate Program. In addition to the above requirements, applicants are expected to show appropriate background and experience in their chosen area of specialization. A decision on acceptance will be made after this final interview. Students wishing to be considered for institutional financial aid awards must complete their files by March 15.
Early application is encouraged for all programs.
Once an application packet is received, it is reviewed by the Graduate School and, if complete, forwarded to the Committee on Admissions in the applicant's program.
