The final examination will include an oral presentation of the thesis and an oral examination on the thesis conducted by the advisory committee.

Students must complete one of the following two options:
- Final Exam: This is a non-credit exam, given once each semester (fall and spring), for students who have completed at least 21 hours of graduate credit. Refer to the Final Exam Guideline for additional information.
- Master of Science (MS) Project (CS 596): This is a three credit hour elective course in which an oral exam will serve as the MS exit exam. Please refer to the MS project document for additional information.
