The student and his or her advisory committee will plan a coherent degree program, including required coursework that best suits the student’s educational goals. For most students this will include the department’s core sequence APSC 603 , APSC 604 , APSC 608 . Due to the different backgrounds, previous preparation, and career goals, not all Applied Science students will take the full core sequence. However, unless otherwise exempted by the department, students will be responsible for the material covered in the entire core. The Applied Science Faculty must approve thesis and dissertation programs. A student in the Department must maintain a B average in order to remain in good standing.
