Plan Your Studies
A few rules that help you finish on time.
COURSE ORDER
Take Courses When Offered
Enroll each time a course you need for your program is offered, so you can finish on schedule.
GRADES
Keep a 3.0 GPA
You need a 3.0 GPA throughout the MA to graduate. Falling below 3.0 places you on academic probation.
CAPSTONE
Stay Enrolled to the End
Students completing a thesis stay enrolled each term until all requirements are approved.
TIME LIMIT
Up to Three Years
Most students finish in about two and a half years. Extensions beyond three years need approval and carry a fee of $2,000 per term.
