高分子科学理学硕士

授予规定的课程学习计划，累积考试，正式演示文稿和一项研究项目，以完成以学术方式描述研究的论文准备，从而授予理学硕士学位。需要进行公开讨论，称为部门正式讨论会，以回顾与研究问题相关的文献。论文的书面评论将在论文完成之前提交给顾问和论文阅读者一个年级（FT学生第二年秋季提交）。书面论文必须表现出对高分子科学原理的高级理解，而高分子科学原理是在课程和专业研究阅读中开发的。
The Master of Science degree is awarded for the completion of a prescribed program of course studies, cumulative exams, a formal presentation, and a research project that leads to the preparation of a thesis describing the research in a scholarly manner. A public discussion referred to as a departmental formal seminar is required which reviews the literature pertinent to the research problem. A written review of the literature will be submitted to the advisor and thesis reader for a grade in advance of the completion of the thesis (submission in the fall of the second year for FT students). The written thesis must exhibit the advanced level of understanding of the principles of polymer science that was developed in the courses and in specialized research reading.
