While it is possible to complete the program in less that two years, provided a student has sufficient background before entering, that event is unlikely. Assuming that a student starts the summer following admission to the program, the following sequence will provide the optimal chance to register for appropriate courses when they are needed. Below is given the prescribed sequence in which courses should be taken to be able to complete the master's degree program in two years. A masters thesis option allows the student to replace electives with EDP 782 for a total of six credits.
All courses are for three hours credit unless otherwise indicated.
If an extra section is offered, the course may not satisfy the program Folio requirements. Also, remember to check prerequisites for courses you plan to take. The Counseling Psychology Area Committee will review your application and contract, and you will be mailed a letter of admission if all goes well. The Master of Science in Education program is selective with about four applicants for each person selected. The program faculty prefers applicants who already have a foundation in the behavioral sciences, e.g., psychology, anthropology and sociology.
