We offer a master of science degree guided by expert faculty, with the opportunity to work side by side with faculty who will guide in your thesis research on a topic of your choice. You’ll conduct an in-depth research study in one of our specialization areas in conjunction with supporting coursework. Specialization areas of study are based on faculty expertise. Our master’s program also offers a non-thesis option which requires an internship or supervised project equivalent to thesis research.
