Upon selection, the student will choose a sponsor from the department. A written thesis is required and will be finished during the third quarter of work. Most supervision will derive directly from the sponsor. A three person committee will evaluate the progress of each student at the end of each quarter. Students not performing adequately can be dropped from the program at the request of this committee.
Students can request a change of sponsor during the first quarter of participation in the program.
A sponsor does not necessarily have to be in the department of the student's major. The names of three faculty members in science departements who could serve as references.
