Degree Information

The Degree of Master of Arts

Degree Plan

The student's advisory committee, in consultation with the student, will develop the proposed degree plan and it must include study in more than one area of specialization, but these areas may be contained within the course offerings of a single department. The degree plan must be completed and filed with the Office of Graduate Studies following the deadline imposed by the student's college, and no later than 90 days prior to the date of the final oral examination or thesis defense.

This proposed degree plan must be typed and submitted on the official form as it appears on the website at ogs.tamu.edu/OGS/currentForms.htm with endorsements by the student's advisory committee and the head of the student's major department.

Students submitting proposed degree plans for Master of Arts degrees should designate on the official degree plan form the program option desired by checking "thesis option" or "non-thesis option."

Additional course work may be added to the approved degree plan by petition if it is deemed necessary by the advisory committee to correct deficiencies in the student's academic preparation.
