The customary classification of special students will be as undergraduate students, regardless of the existence of previous bachelor’s degrees. A student may, however, be classified as a special graduate student. In such a case, designation and continuation of graduate student status will be at the discretion of the cognizant academic unit, or the director of graduate programs in the case of students who are not seeking eventual admission to a graduate degree program. Course Requirements Course requirements are stated in each master’s degree program description. The stated minimum credit hours can include any or all of the following, subject to academic unit approval and specific restrictions stated in the Graduate Policy Manual: 1. Up to 12 semester hours of credit transferred from a regionally accredited institution or, in some cases, from a foreign university; or, in the case of a partner institution in a joint-degree or dual-degree program with Florida Tech, up to one-half of the total minimum credit hours. 2. Up to six semester hours of credit for 3000- and 4000-level undergraduate courses taken at Florida Tech. Only 4000-level courses will be considered if the courses are in the student’s major field of study. 3. Credit previously used to meet the requirements of another master’s degree at Florida Tech may be used to meet up to one-half the credits required for the later degree. 4. Credit in excess of the seven-year statute of limitations if a waiver is in effect, in accordance with the statue of limitations section of this catalog. Academic credit applied toward the requirements of a bachelor’s degree, at Florida Tech or elsewhere, may not be used in any graduate program at Florida Tech, regardless of the level of the course. Program Plan Each master’s-level graduate student is required to have an approved program plan on file no later than one month prior to the time that nine credit hours of graduate courses have been completed. Only one program plan can be in effect for a student at any given time. Because of the importance of the program plan in establishing a new program GPA following a change of major, no request to change majors will be processed unless accompanied by an approved new program plan. This requirement applies whether a degree was earned in the first major or not. Admission to Degree Candidacy A master’s student becomes a degree candidate by satisfying the following requirements: 1. removal of all course deficiencies specified at the time of admission; 2. completion of at least nine credit hours of graduate courses in good standing, as defined by the academic dismissal regulations of the Office of Graduate Programs; and 3. approval of a program plan by the academic unit head. Thesis Master’s theses are required in some programs and are optional in most others. The credit hours assigned to the thesis vary according to the program. A student cannot initially register for thesis unless his or her GPA is at least 3.0. Subsequent to the initial registration, the student must continue to register for thesis each academic term, including summer, until the thesis is defended and accepted by the Office of Graduate Programs. An interruption in thesis registration requires written approval in advance and is permissible only for educationally sound reasons and only if the student is making no use of university facilities or personnel. A grade of S (Satisfactory progress) or U (Unsatisfactory) is assigned at the end of each academic term, with zero credit hours earned. In the first term of registration, timely submission and approval of the thesis proposal is required before a grade of S can be assigned. Based on the written thesis proposal and other indications of the candidate’s ability to organize and present research plans and results in writing, the academic unit may require a course in thesis preparation, COM 4000. In addition, the candidate should contact the Office of Graduate Programs early in the thesis preparation process for guidance regarding style and format requirements. A Thesis Manual and Style Guide is available at the bookstore. After at least the required number of thesis credit hours have been registered for and completed with grades of S, all research has been completed and the written thesis prepared, a thesis defense is scheduled. Scheduling the defense is the primary responsibility of the candidate, who needs to take into account faculty schedules, the need for adequate time for a thorough faculty review of the completed thesis and the requirement that the defense be included in the schedule of graduate examinations that is published each week for examinations taking place the following week. If the thesis defense is successful, a P grade is assigned corresponding to the required number of thesis credit hours. A minimum of five copies of the approved thesis must be accepted by the Office of Graduate Programs before the degree can be awarded. Design Project All requirements listed for theses in the preceding section apply equally to design projects. Final Program Examination A final program examination is required in all master’s programs with the exception of those in the College of Business, and those in the School of Extended Studies for which there is no on-campus counterpart. For nonthesis students, the examination may be either written or oral, or both, at the discretion of the academic unit. For thesis and design project students, the examination consists primarily of an oral defense of the thesis or design project and takes place during the last term of registration for M.S. Thesis. Questions may be asked that pertain to related subject matter, as well as directly to the thesis itself. Questions requiring a written response may be directed to the candidate in advance of the scheduled oral defense. An examination candidate must have a grade point average (both program and overall, if different) of 3.0 or higher at the time of the examination to be permitted to schedule any final program examination.
