Master of Science in Geosensing (Non-Thesis)

Two Master of Science degrees are offered: the Master of Science thesis degree and the Master of Science non-thesis degree. Admission to this program is competitive and requires a B.S. degree.Completion of a Master of Science with thesis requires that each student perform original research advised by one of the core faculty of the Geosensing Systems Engineering and Sciences program. This faculty member will be the Chair of the thesis defense committee. Ordinarily, the Thesis Committee Chair will arrange financial support for the student and the research. A thesis master's degree typically requires two years (or more) of full time effort to complete the course work, plan and perform the research, and write and defend the thesis.

A B.S. degree in engineering or in a science related to engineering from an accredited college or university or the foreign equivalent of an accredited American B.S. or M.S. degree in engineering. Non-engineers with degrees in related fields may be considered for admission after certain prerequisite courses are completed. A minimum grade point average (GPA) of 3.0 on a 4.0 scale on the last 60 hours of course work attempted.
