Prerequisite: Graduate Status and permission of the instructor and program director
This course provides the capstone experience for students pursuing thesis research and writing while enrolled in the Master of Science in Chemical Sciences (MSCB) degree program. The final and central requirement for awarding the MSCB degree is the completion of a substantial and original independent research project. The successful completion of this requirement is demonstrated through the production of a thesis, describing the research project and its results, and the defense of the project to the voting members of the student’s faculty Thesis Committee. The quality of the thesis document and the defense are evaluated by the Thesis Committee in order to determine if the student has successfully completed this final requirement for the MSCB degree.
