The thesis option requires a minimum of 45 graduate credit hours including thesis research hours not exceeding 10 credits of the 45 credit hours. The non-thesis option requires a minimum of 50 graduate credit hours including 5 credits for the research project. The required core curriculum is identical for thesis and non-thesis options. Students selecting the non-thesis option must also pass a 4-hour comprehensive written exam.
