Program of Study

Each area of study has course of study guidelines for students in that area. The student, in conference with the faculty advisor, should prepare a program of study for the master's degree as a guide for planning an academic schedule. This program of study can evolve during the student's tenure, but it provides a guide to assure that all requirements will be met for the planned time of matriculation. The program of study must be completed satisfactorily within four consecutive calendar years and must include, at a minimum, thirty approved credit hours distributed as follows:

Without thesis:
• Minimum course credit hours in major field (a basic field of knowledge) 18
• Minimum course credit hours at 6000 to 9000 level 21
• Total credit hours 30

With thesis:
• Minimum course credit hours in major field (a basic field of knowledge, not a department of specialization) 12
• Minimum course credit hours at 6000 to 9000 level 12
• Total course credit hours for degree 18
• Thesis hours (7000) 6
• Total credit hours 30

Some programs of study require more than the minimum credit hours. Refer to specific academic program descriptions for more detailed information. Other than thesis hours, the student may use only three hours under the pass/fail designation in the approved program of study. As a rule, a course may not be counted toward more than one degree. Undergraduate courses required for graduation in the discipline (designated degree) or discipline-of-origin (undesignated degree) at Georgia Tech may not be applied toward a master's degree. (See "Graduate Course Option" for special exceptions in certain schools.)

Advising

Each student also is assigned an advisor upon admission, based on his/her area of study. The advisor serves as an intellectual guide and mentor in the area of specialization to which the student was admitted. The advisor may change over the course of a student's program, subject to the approval of the MS Program Advisory Committee. If a student wishes to change the Advisor, he or she must petition the MS. Program for approval of such a change.
