Curriculum Guide/ Cohort Schedule
The program is cohort-based, so all courses are offered in a prescribed sequence. All students in the cohort take the same two courses per semester. Students also are required to participate in weekly classroom discussions; work on group and individual projects; and deliver work by deadlines.
Each course is 3-credit hours. The program requires 33 credit hours of graduate coursework. Expect to complete the program in 5 semesters plus a summer course. A thesis is not required from students but is encouraged. Non-thesis students take a comprehensive exam in semester 4.
At the end of each semester, students must demonstrate course competency by completing final exams for each class, proctored at a professional testing center. Testing centers are located in metropolitan areas throughout the United States and around the world.
