Masters Degrees
The Graduate Program in Acoustics offers two Master's level programs. The Master of Science
(M.S.) degree program contains a strong research component and requires the development of a thesis
based upon this research. The Master of Engineering (M.Eng.) degree program involves a research
report in place of a thesis and additional course credits in lieu of research credits. This latter
program is particularly suited to nonresident students whose career goals include applied engineering
or who participate in the Distance Education Program.
Upon matriculation, a resident student must confer with the Program Chair who will assign a temporary
academic advisor to assist in planning a program of study. This advisor will give final approval of
the student's course program prior to registration for each semester.
Before the end of the student's first year of graduate study, he or she should select a thesis or
report topic and obtain the agreement of a member of the graduate faculty to act as permanent advisor.
The student should feel free to approach any member of the graduate faculty for advise and counsel in
this connection. A student may subsequently change advisors. It is imperative that the Program Office
be notified of any such change. A change in thesis project and advisor may mean the cancellation of an
assistantship supported by that project.
