Master’s Degree Plan
The following is an example of a master’s program course schedule for full-time students. Full-time students usually complete the master’s program in 2 semesters. Part-time students may register for fewer than 12 credits per fall and spring semester and can complete the program in two to three years.
Students have flexibility in the number of electives to take per semester. The course schedule below lists an example of the number of electives and credits per elective for each semester.
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.
