Degree Information

The Degree of Master of Science

Residence (See Residence Requirements.)

In partial fulfillment of the residence requirement for the degree of Master of Science, the student must complete 9 resident credit hours during one regular semester or one 10-week summer semester. Upon recommendation of the student’s advisory committee, department head or Chair of the Interdisciplinary Program, if appropriate, and with approval of the Office of Graduate Studies, a student may be granted exemption from this requirement. Such a petition, however, must be approved prior to the student’s registration for the final 9 credit hours of required course work.

Full-time staff members of the University or of closely affiliated organizations stationed at the campus at College Station may fulfill total residence requirements by completion of less-than-full course loads. An employee should submit verification of his/her employment at the time he/she submits the degree plan. See Registration.
