DEGREE OPTIONS Clause Samples
The "Degree Options" clause defines the types of academic degrees or credentials that a student may pursue under a particular program or agreement. It typically outlines the available degree tracks, such as bachelor's, master's, or certificate programs, and may specify any prerequisites or conditions for selecting a particular option. This clause ensures that all parties are clear about the educational pathways offered, helping students make informed decisions and preventing misunderstandings about program eligibility or outcomes.
DEGREE OPTIONS. Students are advised to carefully examine the differences in the degree requirements where there is more than one choice within a major field and be sure that their transfer intent is in line with the degree chosen.
DEGREE OPTIONS. Students participating in the Program will work toward an AASD from LCC and a Certificate of Completion from the VNP. The AASD will be awarded by LCC and the Certificate of Completion awarded by MSU upon the student’s successful completion of the curriculum approved by both institutions. A minimum of 60 semester credits is required for the AASD. To qualify for the AASD, students must complete a minimum of 15 semester credits of general education courses through LCC. Students must also complete the VNP requirements, which currently includes 43 credits of veterinary nursing course work through MSU and 15 credits of veterinary nursing clinical clerkships. To receive an associate degree from Lansing Community College, a student must also meet the following institutional graduation requirements:
1. Complete a course of study approved by the College and consisting of a minimum of 60 semester credits with no more than 10 percent of these credits acquired on the pass/fail (P-Z) grading system. (See the Degree and Certificate Programs section of this catalog: ▇▇▇▇://▇▇▇.▇▇▇.▇▇▇/catalog/degree_certificateprograms/.)
2. Maintain a cumulative grade point average of 2.0 or above.
3. Earn toward the curriculum at least 15 semester credits in attendance at Lansing Community College. Credits earned through comprehensive exams will not be counted toward this requirement.
4. Satisfy the LCC General Education Core Requirements. Students following the Associate in Applied Science Degree will fulfill these requirements by completing specific curriculum requirements.
5. Satisfy all general and specific requirements of Lansing Community College.
6. File an application for graduation with the Admissions, Registration and Records Office by the deadline for the semester the program requirements are completed.
DEGREE OPTIONS. In summary, there are two options for students: the first is for those only wanting a project‐based Master of Science degree; they will complete their studies at OSU, and receive degrees from UPEACE and OSU. The second is for those wanting to do independent research and write a thesis. They may do so and continue the programme at UPEACE, IHE Delft or OSU for another six months, receiving degrees from all three institutions. Within that option there will be three sub‐options from which the students can choose, depending on their interest and requirements. Participants attend the common and core taught element of the programme in all three institutions, starting with UPEACE, then IHE Delft and OSU. They will focus on different areas at each, as described in further detail in this document An important element of the programme at OSU is the collaborative project undertaken by the students jointly as a group. This research project may be conducted within the scope of activities of the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) as part of the ICIWaRM.2 The duration of the project will be approximately two months and would be conducted under the direction of a professor. It will thus not be an internship but will provide a collaborative approach to project work with the possibility of the project outcome being published. The intention is be to provide students with an applied, collaborative element to their studies. Completion of the collaborative project will reinforce the conceptual and theoretical background provided earlier in the programme, give students an opportunity to experience an interdisciplinary working environment, and help prepare them for real‐ world collaboration on water‐related projects. Once the project has been completed, students will have two options:
