Elective Courses
Actual degree requirements will be summarized on an approved program of study. Some general guidelines include:
- Any course that is not a core course can be an elective course.
- Courses offered by other K-State departments, if approved by an advisor, can also be elective courses.
- At most, 6 hours can be transferred from another school, unless prior approval is obtained.
- No more than 6 hours can be taken from an outside department without prior permission.
- Courses in the IMSE department must be above the 600 level.
- Courses outside the department must be above the 500 level.
- No more than 6 hours can be taken at the 500 level.
All K-State Graduate School graduate program rules apply. A final master's culminating experience is required for each student upon completion of their coursework or in the final semester of coursework. Currently, the culminating experience is administered by the student's supervisory committee and tests their grasp of topics in the curriculum as well as their ability to apply them in the workplace.
Students residing within 150 miles of Manhattan, Kansas must travel to campus to meet with their supervisory committee for the culminating experience. Others may request a telephone or teleconference culminating experience. Students must be enrolled in at least 1 hour of K-State courses in the semester in which they are completing the master's program.
