In addition to the above programs, the Graduate Council may approve proposals submitted by students leading toward degrees in interdisciplinary or more specific areas. Each department offering off-campus programs has a model for specific needs and requirements of the working adult. Courses are usually delivered by a professor traveling on weeknights or weekends to the site selected by the students.
Tuition differs from the on-campus rate and is set on a yearly basis.
Applications are distributed and collected through the Off-Campus Education Office and processed by the Graduate School in the same manner as traditional applications. Identical criteria and guidelines for acceptance apply to all applicants, regardless of on or off-campus status. For further information, students should contact the Off-Campus Education Office. Bachelor's Degree Equivalency Applicants who have not achieved a baccalaureate degree need to either complete such a degree prior to admission to Graduate School or present evidence of equivalent education which will be evaluated by the Graduate Dean. Those who have completed a 3 year baccalaureate degree should complete an additional year of undergraduate study before gaining full admission to a graduate degree program.
