CSC 596 Research Master's Project

A Research Master’s Project offers a student to pursue a more significant research project under faculty supervision.  This option is open only to students who have earned a grade-point average of 3.5 or higher.  The project could focus on a topic beyond those covered in an elective course or could pursue a research interest outside of elective offerings.  A Research Master’s Project culminates in a research paper suitable for submission for publication (though an actual submission or acceptance is not required) and a more substantial formal presentation.  One or more additional faculty members will serve as readers for the research paper, and their approval, in addition to that of the faculty advisor, is required for successful completion.  Students considering further graduate study at the Ph.D. level are especially encouraged to pursue the Research Master’s Project option. Prerequisite: permission of faculty supervisor.
