Masters Degrees
Students will follow the curriculum of the year for which they were admitted to the program. Should requirements change in any given year, students complete either the curriculum under which they were admitted in its entirety, or the new curriculum in its entirety, but not a combination of both.
Pursuing Two Graduate Degrees Concurrently
A student pursuing two masters degrees in the SMTD simultaneously must satisfy all requirements for both degrees, as if each program were being pursued independently. Up to 10 credit hours may be double-counted between the two degrees.
