University of Central Oklahoma Program: Major: Biology continued Biology Graduate Catalog, 2012 - 2013 College: Mathematics & Science NOTE: Each student must complete 32 hours of 5000 level coursework, which includes thesis hours. To ensure that students are broadly educated in biology, each student must have satisfactorily completed (during either their undergraduate or graduate work) at least one 3000, 4000 or 5000 level course in each of the following areas: Plant Biology, Animal Biology, Microbiology, Cellular Biology, Genetics and Environmental Biology. Students who enter the M.S. Biology Program without completing an upper-level course in each core area will be required to complete a 5000 level course in each area in which they are deficient. The Plan of Study should be designed based on this requirement and the student’s academic record. Other Requirements 1. Thesis Advisory Committee. Form a Thesis Advisory Committee and meet with it each semester. 2. Plan of Study. Each student must file a plan of study with his/her graduate program advisor and the Jackson College of Graduate Studies by the end of the first semester of graduate work. The plan must be signed and dated by the student and the graduate program advisor before it can be considered official. 3. Academic Standards. Meet the following course work standards: (a) overall GPA of 3.00 or higher. (b) no more than 6 hours of “C”. (c) no more than six advisor-approved hours from traditional correspondence courses. 4. Comprehensive Exam. Complete a comprehensive exam with a minimum score of “pass” in all of the following areas: Animal Biology, Plant Biology, Cell Biology, Microbiology, Genetics, and Environmental Biology/Ecology. Note: With the approval of the graduate program advisor, a student who fails one or more of these exams may once, but only once, retake those exam(s). 5. Thesis. Complete an acceptable thesis, present it to the public, and defend it successfully before the Advisory Committee. Submit two paper copies of the thesis and one electronic copy to the library through Proquest and the thesis’ title page, original signature page, summary and abstract page to the JCGS. 6. Final Requirements. Apply for graduation through the JCGS by advertised deadline. 170
University of Central Oklahoma Program: Major: Engineering Physics Engineering Physics Major Code: 6630 Degree: Master of Science (M.S.) Department Engineering College Mathematics & Science Graduate Advisor: Dr. Weldon Wilson E-Mail Address: wwilson@uco.edu Office Address: HOH 221E Phone Number: 405-974-5470 Engineering Physics, M.S. This program is designed so that its graduates can enter careers in diverse interdisciplinary fields in science and technology-related industries. The program also provides advanced study in physics and engineering for traditional students who intend to pursue the Ph.D. in Physics or Engineering. Admission Requirements Submit the following items to the Jackson College of Graduate Studies (JCGS), 100 N. University Dr., Nigh University Center, Rm. 404, Edmond, OK 73034. 1. Paper or online application for admission (www.uco.edu/ graduate/admissions.html). 2. Official copies of undergraduate and graduate transcripts from each institution attended with all degrees posted. All transcripts must be from accredited institutions. Undergraduate transcripts must show: a. A minimal 2.75 GPA overall and 3.00 GPA in the last 60 hours attempted or a 3.00 overall GPA. b. Completion of 24 undergraduate hours in physics or the equivalent and mathematics through differential equations and other prerequisites (if any), as determined by the graduate program advisor. 3. Students falling below these standards may qualify for conditional or provisional admission. See Admission to Graduate Studies section. 4. Students with course deficiencies must complete 3000/4000 level courses in physics and engineering in addition to the program course requirements. 5. Graduate Record Examination scores. A GRE score of 1150 (combined verbal and quantitative scores) is recommended. Scores must be submitted before enrolling in graduate-level courses. Graduate Catalog, 2012 - 2013 College: Mathematics & Science Note: Students must meet with faculty mentor/advisor in group or individual advisement session before enrolling. Accelerated BS/MS Degree Program Students applying for a Master Degree through the Accelerated BS/MS Degree Program must submit the following items to the Engineering Physics Department Accerlerated Program Admissions Committee: 1.

The applicant is a UCO Engineering Physics major; b. A minimum overall GPA of 3.00; c. A minimum GPA of 3.00 in all Engineering and Physics courses specified in the junior year for their major. Grades for engineering courses taken in the spring semester of the junior year will be submitted when courses are completed at the end of junior year. 3. Two letters of recommendation from Engineering & Physics faculty. 4. A statement of purpose describing the applicant’s: a. Plans and rationale for graduate study at UCO; b. Intentions toward and involvement in research activities. Note: All applicants must receive approval for admission to the program from the Department’s Accelerated Program Admissions Committee. In this program three 5000-level ENGR or PHY courses (9 hours) taken during the senior year will count towards both the BS and MS degrees. The three courses are specified by the undergraduate major being sought. Graduation Requirements The student may select either the non-thesis option or the thesis option. The thesis option requires the submission and public defense of an acceptable thesis based on independent research activities.
