FIELDS OF INSTRUCTION / 71 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.
