In all graduate programs, a final integrating experience which assesses the body of knowledge that has been acquired through the course work and research is required. No degree is granted simply as the record of the accumulation of appropriate courses with adequate grades. The form of the final requirement differs among degree programs, but always includes an oral discourse. In it, the examining committee, as established on Form 2, discusses the thesis or project research, the creative endeavor, or the integrating paper, and assesses the student's mastery of the several components of the degree course work.
