The University catalog should be consulted for complete details on requirements for the M.S. degree. The School of Science and the School of Business have some programs for which an M.S. thesis is not required but a special project must be completed. The School of Engineering requires all graduate students to complete a thesis. If a thesis is required, it must be defended orally to a committee consisting of a minimum of three faculty members. This committee is appointed by the chair of the candidate's department.
Preparation Use any good quality and weight of bond paper.
If you have questions about the acceptability of your print, the Graduate School will be happy to view a sample to make a determination. Be sure to use a new, black ribbon when printing the final copy. The text of the thesis should be double spaced with the exception of long quotations. Print should appear on only one side of the paper. Each page in your thesis should be assigned a number.
