The centerpiece of the MS experience is conducting a research project in collaboration with our world-class faculty. Students who complete particularly strong research projects often publish in peer-reviewed journals with their adviser and present at conferences.
As part of their professional development, MS students are also encouraged to participate in professional organizations by becoming members and attending meetings. Many of our students also broaden their professional foundations through activities such as internships, fellowships, or assisting in grant preparation. Exceptional master of science students also have the opportunity to serve as teaching assistants.
