Program of StudyA graduate degree indicates mastery of a coherent program in a chosen field and the ability to engage in creative projects in that specialty. The program of study is vital in assuring the completion of a formal program of study designed to ensure the mastery of specified knowledge and skills.Forms for the program of study specification may be obtained from the graduate officer. It is required that the program be approved by the student’s graduate thesis adviser and filed by the graduate officer in the semester in which the student will complete 12 credit hours toward the degree. This is usually during the second semester of enrollment. Once a program of study has been approved by the principal graduate adviser and filed with the graduate officer, it is the student’s responsibility to ensure that all curricular requirements and prerequisites are satisfied and changes in the program are submitted to the student’s thesis/supervisory committee via the thesis adviser for approval. Any changes to the program of study must have the approval of the adviser, the thesis/supervisory committee and the principal graduate adviser. It is not expected that more than four courses will change from the original program of study. If more than four courses are changed, then a new program of study should be filed.
