Requirements for Completion of the Degree

The degree is a 36 credit hour program. Generally, each participant's plan of study will consist of three parts; however, exceptions in the plan of study may be approved by the director to accommodate an individual's specific interests or special education or career backgrounds. The three parts of the matriculation plan include:
  1. Introductory seminar, which must be completed before any other coursework.
  2. The body of coursework itself.
  3. A final capstone seminar, taken during the last semester.
A written thesis is not required, but individuals who wish to complete a thesis project may apply three credit hours toward their degree requirements. An individual who works well independently and who has a particular interest that lends itself to detailed research is especially encouraged to consider the thesis option. With the thesis option, the participant will select a faculty adviser other than the director of the program, who will direct the plan of study and research.
