Cornell’s Master of Science (M.S.) students undertake a substantive body of research as a member of a faculty research group. They document their research in a master’s thesis, which they defend in a formal examination by the faculty. Research projects are chosen in consultation with the supervising faculty member and enable students to benefit from Cornell’s powerful combination of an unusually collaborative and interdisciplinary culture and outstanding research facilities.
