work will generally include core requirements for the
new college.
 All students must satisfy core requirement by com-
pleting four specified graduate level courses (12 cred-
its) or their approved equivalents. Students must
maintain an average of at least 3.0 on the core courses,
and no more than one course out of the four may
have a grade below B. An additional 12 credits of
course work must be taken which includes six gradu-
ate level credits in courses designed for a selected
area of specialization within computer and informa-
tion sciences and at least six credits from courses of-
fered by some other department in the college in
which the student is enrolled. All students are also re-
quired to take a one-credit seminar and write a thesis.
A minimum of five credit hours must be taken in CIS
6971. No foreign language is required.
 The Dean for Graduate Studies and Research, act-
ing on the recommendation of the Chairman of the
CIS Department and the dean of the college in which
the student is enrolled, will appoint a supervisory
committee for each student consisting of two mem-
bers of the CIS graduate faculty and one member of
the graduate faculty of some other department from
the college. Each student will be required to pass a
written comprehensive examination administered
twice a year by the Department.
 The Center for Information Research, the Database
 Systems Research and Development Center, and a
 number of other campus research centers provide op-
 portunities for students enrolled in the program.
