Graduate Committees
A Graduate Committee is required for both the Thesis and Non‑Thesis MS options. Within the first two semesters in residence, the graduate student and Major Professor must form a graduate committee. The committee must be composed of the Major Professor and at least two other members of the graduate faculty. One member of the graduate faculty must be from a department or school other than the School of Natural Resources. A fourth member of the committee may be from outside the University. If the student intends to minor in a discipline outside the School of Natural Resources, that discipline must be represented on the committee by a faculty member.
Residency
No minimum residency exists for the Master’s Program, however there is an overall time limit of six (6) years for the completion of all requirements for the degree from the date of matriculation. Course work taken more than six years prior to the date of graduation must be re-validated if it is to be used in meeting program requirements.
