Other MS Degree Requirement-Non-Thesis Track
- Examinations: Students complete a written final examination to earn the MS degree.
- Research/Projects: Students are not required to perform research for the degree. Students have the option to complete research during the summer quarter after required courses and the final examination are complete.
- Master's Thesis: The non-thesis track does not require a master’s thesis.
Electives (Optional)
Students may choose from a variety of electives to complete their degree. Electives enable students to tailor their degree to professional and personal interests by developing a focus area and/or achieve breadth. Reproductive Science and Medicine electives include REPR_SCI 415: Medical Management of Fertility, and REPR_SCI 430: Translational Topics in Fertility Preservation and Oncofertility. However, electives can span topics outside of reproductive science. General areas of interest are listed below. Students may take any TGS course and are not limited to the list when determining electives.
