Jack M. Armistead, Dean
Paul Semmes, Interim Associate Dean
The College of Arts and Sciences offers the Master of Arts degree in English, the Master of Science degree in biology, chemistry, computer science, and mathematics, and the Doctor of Philosophy degree in Environmental Sciences, with concentrations in biology or chemistry. Students who have adequate academic qualifications may obtain graduate minors or pursue collateral study in such areas as computer science, geology, certain foreign languages, history, journalism, and sociology.
Specializations exist in each of the major areas of study, with course selection made according to a student's undergraduate background and proposed graduate research.
The program of study for a master’s degree normally requires the completion of a minimum of 30 semester hours of graduate credit, including the research and writing of a thesis; however, prerequisite courses or collateral study may expand program requirements.
The program of study for a doctoral degree requires a minimum of 61 semester
credits beyond the bachelor’s level, including 13 credits in “core
courses,” 12 credits at the 700 level, and at least 18 credits in doctoral
research and dissertation.
Graduate assistantships are available in each of the departments offering graduate
degrees. Specific information concerning assistantships and degree requirements
for the master’s degrees may be obtained from the respective departments.
Information concerning the doctoral degree may be obtained from the Director
of the Ph.D. program in Environmental Sciences.
