Other Considerations

  • The research master’s students will be advised by and participate in the ongoing initiatives of current doctoral student, advisors and research groups
  • To enable master’s degree students to enroll in current 8000 and 9000 level advanced courses, selected courses may be cross-listed as 6000 and 7000 level concurrent sessions.
  • Based on interests and needs, students will be encouraged to take advantage of all EPIT/LDT offerings including the design and development and studio sequence courses to be offered primarily at the Gwinnett campus.
  • Students will complete the equivalent of a research thesis/study to demonstrate competence in research methodology, the ability to frame their research in current literature, and to write high-level scholarly reports of original research.
