Program Overview

The Master of Science degree is awarded for the completion of a prescribed program of course studies, cumulative exams, a formal presentation, and a research project that leads to the preparation of a thesis describing the research in a scholarly manner. A public discussion referred to as a departmental "formal seminar" is required which reviews the literature pertinent to the research problem. A written review of the literature will be submitted to the advisor and thesis reader for a grade in advance of the completion of the thesis (submission in the fall of the second year for FT students).  The written thesis must exhibit the advanced  level of understanding of the principles  of polymer science that was developed in the courses and in specialized research reading.
