M.S. Full Time Course Map
The full-time course map below is for the standard, non-thesis track of the M.S. degree. Thesis track students will take 6 credits hours of thesis work in a second spring semester.
Please note that nearly all of our courses are offered in a single semester (only Fall or only Spring) and that many of the classes have in-program prerequisites. As such, deviations from this full-time course map can extend study well beyond the three semesters outlined below.
