Possible Additional Courses
The student must take additional courses of his or her own choosing. The 蜜糖直播 Graduate School requires a total of at least 30 semester credit hours. It is expected that the student, in consultation with his or her thesis advisor, will choose courses that are compatible with the student's research interests. Possible courses could include, but are not restricted to, the following. (Grayed out courses are not currently in the catalog)
