Requirements for program completion and awarded degrees
Requirements for program completion
Program completion is recognized for master's students who: enroll in the department for at least the standard program duration of two years (or longer for any authorized extended enrollment); complete courses and earn credits with a GPA (grade point average) of 2.0 or greater as required by the student's program for the intended master's degree; receive necessary research guidance; and pass a thesis review or a review of research findings from a specified assignment and the final examinations.
- The program may be completed in a shorter period in the case of an outstanding achievement after at least one year of enrollment.
- Any necessary research guidance may be sought from other graduate schools, institutes, or similar places of learning for a period of up to one year.
