Master’s Degree Plan
The following is an example of a master’s program course schedule for full-time students, who typically complete the program in two or three semesters. Part-time students may register for fewer than 12 credits per semester, and have up to three years to complete the program.
Our program charges a full-time, per-semester flat rate for students taking 12 credits or more in a semester, and a part-time, per-credit rate for students taking fewer than 12 credits.
