Master
of Engineering
This program
requires a minimum of 36 semester hours of coursework. Independent
study coursework cannot exceed 12 of these hours. Submittal and
presentation of a report that presents the results of a case study
or an engineering development is also required. The M.E. program
is also available as a combined undergraduate/graduate degree. This
track allows undergraduate students at CSM to begin their graduate
program during their senior year. It also provides students the
opportunity to double-count six of their undergraduate credits towards
their graduate degree.
Master
of Science
The M.S. degree
consists of 24 course credits, 12 hours of research credits, and
the submission and defense of a thesis. The thesis will present
the results of original scientific research or developments. The
student and the faculty advisor set the coursework for the program.
Combined
BS/ME Program
Students pursuing
bachelor's degrees at CSM in Engineering Physics or Metallurgical
& Materials Engineering are eligible to apply for the combined program.
Students can formally apply into this program after their junior
year by submitting a graduate admissions application to the Graduate
School. Once accepted, student must maintain a 3.0 GPA each semester
for the remainder of the undergraduate program and their entire
graduate program. Students in this program must satisfy the requirements
of the M.Eng degree as listed above.
Doctor
of Philosophy
This program
requires 42 semester hours of coursework and 30 semester hours of
research after the bachelor's degree. A minimum of 12 course credits
are required in a minor field of study. Though there is no qualifying
examination, a comprehensive examination is required consisting
of written and oral parts in one of the three primary areas. A written
document on the background and rationale of the primary research
focus is part of the examination. Successful defense of a dissertation
on original scientific research completes the program.
Admissions/Entrance
Requirements
Entering graduate
students come from a variety of educational backgrounds but must
have certain fundamental knowledge and skills in science and engineering
to successfully complete our program. A bachelor's degree in materials
science or metallurgical & materials engineering, or a related field,
is required. Students not possessing all the required coursework
will be allowed to satisfy these deficiencies at the beginning of
their graduate program.
The completed
application must contain two official transcripts of all previous
college work, three letters of recommendation, Graduate Record Examination
