Application Process
The Master Adviser of the group is appointed by the Dean of Graduate Studies to serve as a deputy in matters affecting individual graduate students and their academic programs. This adviser provides assistance in planning the overall program of study to ensure that all requirements are met. The Master Adviser maintains records of each student's performance and must sign forms and petitions used by graduate students.
The Major Professor is the faculty member who provides detailed supervision of a student's program and whose laboratory is usually the setting for most of the student's research activities. The major professor advises on details of course work and other aspects of the academic program that are tailored to suit the individual student's programmatic needs and career goals. The major professor is the chair of the dissertation committee for a PhD or MS degree.
Prospective graduate students may apply for admission to either the MS or PhD programs. Admissions preference is given to PhD applicants.
It is most important to note that admission to the GROUP requires two steps:
- Admission by the Office of Graduate Studies.
- Acceptance by a major professor in the group in your desired field of specialization.
The Office of Graduate Studies has final responsibility for admissions. The Master Adviser makes recommendations on admission on behalf of the Admissions Committee of the Group to the Dean of Graduate Studies.
