Candidates for the MSc degree by course work and research project must complete a minimum of 4.0 credits, including one credit
of research project and at least two credits from courses in one of the four fields (below). Of these courses, one will be
the Land Resource Science Research Project, LRS*6500 (two semesters, 1.0 credit). The research project will be a detailed,
critical review of an area of study related to the specialization chosen by the student including analyses and interpretations
of relevant data. The student may or may not be involved in collecting the data. The content of the research project will
be presented to the department as a seminar.
The remaining credit may be from another field, or from the courses designated as Policy or Data Analysis below. A maximum
of one approved senior-level undergraduate course can be included in the list of prescribed courses.
At the beginning of the program, the student and student's advisory committee will design the course-work MSc according to
the program guidelines and the aspirations and background of the student. MSc by course work and major paper degree will require
a minimum of three semesters of full-time study (or the equivalent).
