Master’s Degree Plan

The following is an example of a master’s program course schedule for full-time students. Part-time students may register for fewer than 12 credits per fall and spring semester, and have up to three years to complete the program. Students usually complete the master’s program in 2 semesters as a full-time student.

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.
