Requirements

A total of 12 courses (36 credit hours) are required to complete the degree, including a master's portfolio.  A minimum grade of B- is required along with a minimum 3.0 gpa.

The master's portfolio allows students to demonstrate their competency through reflection and assessment of previously completed projects as well as enhance their materials for professional presentations.  A student who has not completed the portfolio must maintain continued registration during subsequent semesters until completion of the portfolio by registering for the appropriate zero-credit course.  Students who have not maintained continuous registration for the portfolio will be required to register for all intervening fall and spring semesters prior to graduation.

Your degree map is a general guide suggesting courses to complete each term on the academic pathway to your degree. It is based on the most current scheduling information from your academic program. Your program’s degree map is reviewed annually and updated as schedules change (although you retain the same course requirements as long as you are continuously enrolled in your degree program).

Always work closely with your academic advisor to understand curriculum requirements and scheduling, as each student’s academic plan can look slightly different. No more than two grades of C (not C-) may be applied toward the 36 hours used for the degree. A graduate course can only be repeated once; no more than two courses can be repeated.
