  • Program tanımları
    - MASTER OF SCIENCE PROGRAM -

    Master of Science Program in Earthquake Engineering consists of a minimum 24 credit hour course load and a Master of Science Thesis. Of the minimum number of 24 credits, at least one third should be comprised of required courses specified by the program to which the student is registered.The remaining two third may be chosen from elective courses of the program or the courses acceptable by regulations of the institute, subject to the approval of student advisor. The 24 credits of course work is normally made up to 500 and 600 level courses; however, with the approval of the advisor, some of the program may be composed of 400 level courses, maximum two of them with credit, not taken the students undergraduate program.

    Upon completion of course work with a grade-point average of at least 3.00, the student is required to carry out supervised research and complete a Master's thesis in at most two successive semesters.The student has an oral examination after the thesis is submitted for approval.
