coordinator for more information)
e. File for advancement to candidacy
f. Complete the program requirements
g. File a master’s thesis committee assign-ment
form
h. Formally present and defend the thesis
research results or pass a comprehen-sive

(minimum GPA of 3.0), meeting
the university graduate writing skills
requirement, departmental require-ments,
and filing a petition of advance-ment
to candidacy no later than one
semester prior to enrollment in thesis
