196 Arkansas-Monticello Graduate Programs Academic Status Graduate students may earn grades of A, B, C, D or F, except for Research and Thesis and required undergraduate cognate course work that does not count for credit toward a degree. Research/Thesis is graded as Pass/Fail, with a grade of Incomplete awarded until a thesis has been approved and a comprehensive examination has been passed. Required undergraduate cognate course work that does not count for credit toward a degree may be graded as Pass/Fail if so recommended by a student’s Advisory Committee. The grades of A, B, C, D and F indicate the following: A – excellent, B – good, C – marginal, D – poor, and F – failing. A cumulative GPA of 3.0 out of 4.0 must be maintained to complete degree requirements and to retain a graduate assistantship. No more than two courses in which a grade of “C” was obtained may be applied toward degree requirements. A student whose grade record includes three courses with grades of “C” or lower may not maintain graduate status unless the Graduate Council, upon petition from a graduate faculty member, has authorized a plan of study for the student. Three courses with grades of “C” or lower will also result in the loss of a Graduate Assistant’s stipend. A student may not repeat a course in which a grade of “B” or higher was obtained. Course Loads The maximum course load must not exceed 12 hours during the fall and spring semesters. The maximum load for each summer term is three hours. Students who hold a graduate assistantship must enroll for a minimum of six hours during the fall and spring semesters and one hour for each summer term. All graduate students are required to be enrolled for at least one hour each semester until all requirements for the M.S. in Forest Resources degree are fulfilled. Time Limit To fulfill degree requirements, course credits can be used for a maximum of six years from the time of entry into the School of Forest Resources graduate program. Thesis Proposal Each student will be required to develop a thesis proposal with the advice and approval of his or her advisory committee. The thesis proposal consists of a justification, literature review, and plan of action for the thesis project. This proposal serves the purpose of formulating a proper protocol for the research and allows the student’s Advisory Committee to evaluate (i.e., accept, expand, or reduce) and approve the intended work. The student, major advisor, and Advisory Committee members must all approve the thesis proposal and sign the cover sheet. The thesis proposal must then be submitted for approval to the Director of Graduate Studies and the Dean of the School of Forest Resources during the second semester of enrollment by May 1 (spring semester) or December 1 (fall semester). Thesis and Comprehensive Examination An approved thesis is required for completion of the M.S. in Forest Resources degree. Students are required to define an appropriate problem for investigation; review relevant literature; develop a thesis proposal; collect, analyze, and interpret data; test hypotheses and draw conclusions; and write and defend a thesis. At the conclusion of the study and research program, a seminar and an oral comprehensive examination, including a thesis defense, is required of all graduate students for completion of the M.S. in Forest Resources degree. Enrollment in at least one hour of Research / Thesis is required during the semester the examination is taken. Immediately prior to the examination, all students are required to present a seminar on their thesis work. This seminar is open to the university academic community at-large. Following the seminar, the Advisory Committee and one additional graduate faculty member appointed as a witness by the Dean of the School of Forest Resources administer the examination. The primary role of the witness is to confirm the examination is administered properly and fairly with sufficient academic
Arkansas-Monticello rigor to ensure that the student has successfully mastered the thesis material. Others may observe the examination upon petition to and approval by the Dean of the School of Forest Resources. The comprehensive examination will typically cover, but is not limited to, material presented in and related to the thesis, course work, and other appropriate literature and information. Unanimous agreement of the Advisory Committee will be required to pass a student. The student can request a second examination if he or she fails the first. A student who fails a second examination is withdrawn from the School of Forest Resources graduate program. Summary of Graduation Requirements For graduation, each student must successfully complete 24 – 27 semester hours of course work and 3 – 6 hours of Research and Thesis, as outlined in an approved degree plan. A cumulative grade point average of 3.0 or higher is required with no more than two courses in which a grade of “C” was obtained. In addition, each student must complete an approved thesis and pass an oral comprehensive examination. The thesis format must be approved, and a completed Intellectual Property Form (and completed Invention Disclosure Form, if necessary) must be on file in the Office of the Vice Chancellor of Academic Affairs. Five unbound copies of the thesis in prescribed form (not including a student copy) must be submitted for binding to the University Library, with the binding fees paid at that time. Expulsion Any graduate student whose course or thesis work is unsatisfactory or who violates student conduct or employment rules may be withdrawn from the School of Forest Resources Graduate Program at any time upon the recommendation and agreement of the Major Advisor, the student’s Advisory Committee, and the Dean of the School of Forest Resources.
