A student who has not completed a portfolio or other final project must maintain continuous registration during subsequent semesters until completion of the project by registering for the appropriate zero-credit course (course number followed by "Y"). Students who have not maintained continuous registration for thesis or other final projects will be required to register for all intervening fall and spring semesters prior to graduation.
Students may begin their course of study in either fall or spring term and if they follow the designated course schedule, will graduate in either 12 or 18 months. The degree maps below describe the course sequence for students attending full-time beginning in the fall semester. However, students may also attend the program part-time and may begin the program in the fall, spring or summer term. Although we make every effort to follow the course sequence below, the department reserves the right to made adjustments to the course schedule when necessary.
