Interested in the CGT Graduate Program?

The College of Technology (CoT) offers the Master of Science degree with several different options available. The degree offers a nonthesis, directed project plan of study and a thesis plan of study. All CoT graduate degrees are administered through the Director of Graduate Studies.  The Department of Computer Graphics Technology (CGT) participates in the CoT graduate program by offering an Area of Specialization in Applied Computer Graphics. Students may choose courses that deal with virtual and augmented reality, product lifecycle management, and interactive media research.

Each graduate degree plan is unique to the individual student and his/her background, experience, and degree objectives. Each degree candidate will be appointed an advisor from the graduate faculty to assist with program planning. Advisors are assigned based on a review of the candidate's application materials. Candidate requests for a specific advisor are accepted but not guaranteed. Once a candidate is admitted to the graduate program, the advisor becomes his/her most important contact person. 

The Master of Science plan of study for a directed project has a minimum requirement of 30 semester hours of course work and 3 semester hours of research credit (CGT 598). The Master of Science thesis requirement is 27 hours of coursework and 6 hours of research (CGT 698). Each candidate's plan of study will ultimately be directed by their advisory committee. 

A limited number of graduate research and teaching assistantships are available in the CGT Department. Additional appointments are available within the CoT and other Colleges at the University. Most graduate appointments will ordinarily be for no more than one-half time.

Please note that there are admissions requirements for both the College of Technology and the Computer Graphics Technology Department.
