Kazuya Tajiri, PhD

Assistant Professor

MAE at MTU 

Abstract

The MAE department offers a Master of Science and Ph.D degrees. This talk will focus on the policies and procedures of the MAE graduate program including the courses, credits, requirements, and steps for each degree. Further, the procedures and forms to handle issues such as course restrictions, prerequisites, reduced course load and CPT/OPT will be covered. Lastly, the important issues of good standing, probation and academic integrity will be discussed. There will be an open time for all on-campus graduate students to ask questions and get to know the MAE Director of Graduate Studies.

Karen Hext from the Graduate School will demonstrate the new Academic Audit, a tool that shows progress toward the academic credential you are pursuing (degrees or graduate certificates). It lists course, and non-course requirements and works in conjunction with the Degree Progress Checklist. Bring your laptop or device to follow along.
