Enrollment Requirements

Students wishing to enroll in the master's program must identify an area of specialization in which they wish to study. If they are admitted, it is to the designated area. After admission, students must petition to the MS program office if they wish to transfer to another area of study.

Students enrolled for the master's degree must register for at least one semester per year in order for the original requirements for their degree to remain unchanged. In other cases, the school may re-evaluate the student's credentials and impose additional degree requirements.

While students may enroll in the master's degree program upon admission with either full or conditional standing, all conditions must be met and the student's status changed to "full" in order to graduate with the master's degree.

Students who have completed all course work and are planning to submit a thesis in partial fulfillment of the requirements for a master's degree should register for research hours ("MAJR7000") consistent with a realistic appraisal of the amount of remaining thesis work and required faculty involvement. Students will NOT receive thesis guidance during any term for which they are not registered.

Students must normally enroll for a minimum of three hours each semester. Thesis students may enroll for one hour of thesis only in the semester of graduation. The Institute has no residency requirements for the master's degree.
