To accomplish this, M.S. students must specify a laboratory for their thesis research by the end of their second semester; the earlier in the semester the better. With the guidance of their Advisor they must select an Advisory Committee to guide their master’s research. An approved Plan of Study must be completed by the end of the first year (1 August).
