A minimum of 50 percent of the total number of credits needed for completion of any degree must be earned as a matriculated student.
Programs reserve the right to require additional course work where deficiencies are noted.
Program-specific courses must be taken as a matriculated student.

Courses taken more than 10 years prior to matriculation will be reviewed by the program on an individual basis.
