The MS thesis defense examination will be conducted by the Doctoral Examination Committee chosen by the student and the thesis advisor and approved by the Graduate Studies Committee and the Dean of Graduate Studies. The examination will be announced throughout the School and will be open to the academic community. The student will be required to make an oral presentation of the final thesis. If both the dissertation and examination are satisfactory, and there is compliance with all the requirements of the MS program, then the candidate will be certified as qualified to receive the Master’s Degree.
