Degree Progress
ISE expects on-campus master’s degree students to complete the degree requirements in two years. The non-thesis option can be completed in 12-18 months.
A student may request a degree audit at any time via email to the Graduate Programs Office. Forms are also available on the my.ise portal if a student wishes to keep track of courses and degree progress independently.
Planning
The degree requirements in ISE for our MS degrees are very flexible. This is so that the student can pursue courses in his/her research area without constraint. To assist the student, ISE has created several sample curricula, sorted by research area. Keep in mind that these sample curricula are just suggested courses. The student may change/substitute courses as needed to fulfill the needs of his/her career goals. These sample curricula are geared toward non-thesis students. If you are interested in pursuing the thesis option, swap out the independent study for thesis research, and reduce the number of credit hours as needed.
