Title of Motion: Request from the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering – for the disestablishment of a graduate degree – Master of Science (MSE) in Materials Science and Engineering
 
Action Requested: The Curriculum and Academic Programs Committee recommends University Senate approval of a proposal submitted by the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering – for the disestablishment of a graduate degree – Master of Science (MSE) in Materials Science and Engineering

Rationale: This degree is being disestablished in order to consolidate virtually identical degrees into one with culminating experience options (thesis and non-thesis).  Additionally, by having one degree with multiple options allows the students more flexibility to move between the different culminating experiences without any barriers.
