Faculty Advisors
If a graduate student’s major advisor is located at research and extension centers, they will also have an “on-campus” advisor. The “on-campus” advisor will be identified for the student before entry into the graduate program. (This procedure will enable graduate students to use their time on the Lincoln campus effectively in course work and research.) During the term of the graduate student’s program, the Supervisory or Examining Committee may elect to meet at least once at the research and extension center where the research is being conducted.
Time on Lincoln Campus
Students beginning an M.S. program will likely need to spend at least two semesters in residency on the Lincoln campus, whereas Ph.D. students may need to be in residency on the Lincoln campus three or more semesters to complete course work. The sequence and/or availability of courses approved by the Supervisory Committee will dictate the number of semesters a. student will spend on the Lincoln campus.
