Degree Requirements:
The M.A. degree is designed for the professional scientist who wishes to focus on excellence in training rather than excellence in research.
This 33 hour program requires:
- 15 hours in a discipline with at least 9 hours at the 5000 or above level; and
- a minimum of 15 hours in approved areas with at least 9 hours at the 5000 or above level; and
- a minimum of three hours in a special problem or tutorial.
While not all NSM Departments currently offer the M.A. option, interested applicants are encouraged to contact individual departments for further information.
The M.A. programs are viewed as terminal degree programs; students expressing an interest in pursuing a doctoral degree are urged to enroll in one of the existing M.S. programs.
