What will I learn?

All program degree requirements and supplemental information about graduate education in our department is summarized in our annually updated Graduate Student Policy and Procedures manual, available online on our department website. This manual describes all required coursework, requirements and activities associated with graduate education in our department.

The M.F. is a non-thesis degree intended to serve the needs of those who have a prior sustainable biomaterials degree and who wish to enhance their knowledge and skills, or those who have no previous degree in sustainable biomaterials.

In addition to formal course work at the graduate and senior undergraduate levels that is commensurate with the objectives of the student's degree program, a substantive paper worth three to six hours of academic credit is required. A minimum of 33 credit hours in formal course work, inclusive of hours credited towards the degree paper, must be passed with a minimum GPA of 3.0 for courses in the program of study.

The M.F. student must pass a comprehensive oral examination covering his/her course work and the degree paper. All Graduate School requirements apply to the nature and timing of the candidate's final examination.
