Masters requirements and petitioning for master's degree

M.S. (en route to the Ph.D.). Students who complete the first-year graduate courses with a satisfactory record (including two Honors or four High Passes) qualify for the M.S. degree.

M.Phil. Students who have successfully advanced to candidacy qualify for the M.Phil. degree. See the Graduate School Programs and Policies Bulletin for additional information.

Students can petition for their degree once they have met the requirements for the degree. This should be done at the end of the term in which requirements have been completed. A form can be obtained by visiting the Graduate school forms web page.

At the time of advancement to candidacy, students who have not petitioned for or received en route masters' degrees will automatically be considered for such degrees at the next degree award date.
