Program Curriculum
The current curriculum contains regular courses only. All courses are 3 credit hours. The grade for each course must be an A or B. Research hours are Pass/Fail. The description of the courses can be found in the Graduate Catalog.
Occasionally, other optional courses can be taken and counted towards the degree. Reading courses and seminars cannot be counted towards the degree.
Modifications are possible with the approval of your graduate committee and the graduate program director.
