Degree Information

The Degree of Master of Science

Degree Plan

The student's advisory committee, in consultation with the student, will develop the proposed degree plan. The degree plan must be completed and filed with the Office of Graduate Studies following the deadline imposed by the student's college or interdisciplinary degree program, if applicable, 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 or interdisciplinary degree program.

Students submitting proposed degree plans for Master of Science 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.
