Degree Requirements

The minimum credit hour requirement for the master’s degree in the Lyle School of Engineering is 30 credit hours beyond the baccalaureate, of which six credit hours may be in a thesis. Additional hours may be required depending on the student’s background, objectives of the degree program and the demands of the discipline.

Any student whose articulation into engineering or whose objective will require more than 12 credit hours of articulation courses will be denied admission to the Graduate Division. Such students should enroll in additional undergraduate courses until these deficiencies are removed. The major department should be consulted for counseling information.

All Lyle School of Engineering coursework satisfying degree requirements must be in graduate courses numbered 7000 and above.

All work for the master’s degree must be completed no later than seven years after matriculation.

Students must complete any required articulation courses with a minimum GPA of 3.000.

Admission to candidacy is automatically achieved when the student has obtained 12 credit hours with a minimum 3.000 GPA and that student has filed a degree plan. A student who fails to achieve this standard of performance may be required to take additional courses to satisfy the requirements of his or her degree plan and to bring his or her GPA to 3.000 or better or may be asked to discontinue graduate study.

All work attempted for the master’s degree must be completed with an overall GPA of 3.000 or better. A grade of D obtained by a student will be figured into his or her overall GPA, but cannot be applied to his or her degree plan.
