Overview
About this Degree
Both options require completion of a set of core courses related to the student’s selected concentration.
Thesis Option
A minimum of 30 credit hours of approved graduate courses, including 6 credit hours of thesis and 24 credit hours of coursework. A minor may be selected but is not required.
Non-Thesis Option
A minimum of 30 credit hours of approved graduate courses is required, which may include a three-hour special problems course to be completed under the direction of the student’s major professor. A minor may be selected but is not necessarily required. All non-thesis MS students are required to take a culminating written examination. The written exam is offered twice a year once each in the fall and spring semesters.
Non-Thesis Exam
All non-thesis Environmental Engineering MS students must pass a final comprehensive written examination for the degree. The criteria for passing the written exam is a “B,” which has been interpreted to be a 75 overall average on the fundamentals and applications parts. If a student fails the exam, the student may retake the exam the following semester. The result of the second examination is final. The MS committee may choose to use an oral examination as a forum for testing a marginally-failing student (70–74 average).
The first part of the exam will be closed book containing questions in the fundamentals and basics. The student will be required to answer 12 out of 25 questions.
The second part of the exam will be open book/open note consisting of application type questions. The student will be required to answer 6 out of 26 questions. Students from University of Tennessee Knoxville should see their advisor regarding the content of the exam.
