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 prior to 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.

A student should submit the degree plan using the online Automated Degree Plan Submission System located on the website ogsdpss.tamu.edu.

A student submitting a proposed degree plan for a Master of Science degree 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.
