 DEGREE CREDIT.-In order to qualify for course work toward the Master of
Engineering degree, a student must first be admitted to the Graduate School at
the University of Florida. The amount of course work toward this degree that
may be taken at an off-campus center will depend upon the student's individual
program and the courses provided through the center.
 EXAMINATIONS.-A student seeking the Master of Engineering degree with
or without thesis is required to pass a comprehensive oral or written examination
at the completion of his course work. A student who takes less than half his
course work on the Gainesville campus will be required to pass a comprehensive
written examination administered on the University of Florida campus by an
examining committee recommended by the Dean of the College of Engineering
and appointed by the Dean of the Graduate School. At least one member of the
examining committee must be either the student's program adviser or a member
of his supervisory committee. If a minor is taken, another member must be
chosen from outside the major department to represent the student's minor.
 Examination requirements for the Master of Science degree are covered in
the preceding section under Master of Arts and Master of Science.
