Graduate Advising

The Texas A&M University ocean engineering graduate committee oversees the evaluation process for accepting new students into the program.

The graduate advisor is the point of contact within the division for department paperwork associated with the graduate degree program, including degree plans, petitions, Q-drop forms, Doctor of Philosophy qualifying exams notifications and thesis defense forms.

Each graduate student is also required to form an advisory committee that supervises the student’s progress and thesis work. The advisory committee makes recommendations to the graduate advisor regarding degree plans, petitions and defense results. In accordance with Texas A&M University guidelines, students should consult their advisory committee, especially the committee chair, before turning to the graduate advisor with questions.

The Office of Graduate Studies maintains the regulations that govern graduate work and advisory committee activities. It also maintains useful links for housing and other campus information. Please consult its website for further information.
