In addition to meeting the requirements for classified graduate standing and the basic requirements for the master’s degree as described in Part Four of this bulletin, the student must complete an officially approved course of study of not less than 48 units as outlined below. Also, students complete their degree by choosing either Plan A or Plan B. In Plan A, all students will include NUTR 799A (thesis) or ENS 799A (thesis) for completion of their degree, accompanied by a final oral examination on the field of the thesis and on the implications of the thesis research for the broader field of exercise and nutritional sciences. If students select Plan B, ENS 799A (Directed Readings) is required for completion of the degree. Note
If a student, after entering the concurrent program leading to a Master of Science degree in nutritional sciences and a Master of Science degree in exercise physiology returns to a single degree program, all the requirements for the single degree program must then be met. The school expects the student to complete the degree requirements within seven years. Failure to complete the degree requirements within seven years will result in dismissal from the program. |
