Final changes in the Application for Candidacy form must be submitted no later than one academic quarter before degree conferral.
The 90-unit program must include nine units of graduate courses in Materials Science with a MATSCI subject code (no research units, seminars, colloquia, and MATSCI400 Participation in Materials Science Teaching, Participation in Teaching) beyond the requirements for the MS degree and additional research or other units to meet the 90-unit university minimum requirement. A grade point average (GPA) of 3.0 must be maintained for all degree coursework taken at Stanford.
The Engineer thesis must be approved and signed off by two Academic Council faculty members; one must be a MATSCI faculty member.
Beyond the requirements of the MS Program, an additional nine units of graduate courses in the MATSCI subject code must be completed.
