Suggested Curriculum Sequence

Plan of Study

The typical plan of study requires enrollment in a minimum of nine (9) credit hours per term to remain full-time. Not every course is offered every term, and the following plan of study is an illustration. At the initial conference with an advisor, a preliminary plan of study will be established, and this will be reported to the School of Graduate Studies (using the SGS Plan of Study Form) for placement in the student’s official file. At this time, any anticipated exceptions or anticipated transfer credits will be noted. Changes to the plan of study will be reported to the School of Graduate Studies. The student and advisor will sign the form submitted to the School of Graduate Studies. This is a suggested plan of study for students who start the program in Fall and enroll in the face-to-face program. Contact the program coordinator for plans of study for students starting in Spring and/or enrolled in the online program.

Note

AS NEEDED: If the student requires full-time status (i.e., 9 credit hours enrollment for this term), the student should sign up for PROJ 793. This course conveys full-time status to a master’s graduate student engaged in study prior to the achievement of master’s candidacy. Students preparing for comprehensive examinations or for a thesis proposal defense enroll in this course. Additionally, students needing additional time to complete a Master’s Project enroll in this course after initial enrollment in the appropriate Master’s Project course. This course is a non-curricular course and cannot be used as a program credit requirement. The student registers for 3 credit hours and the registration reports the full-time status of 9 graduate credit hours.
