Students in all master's degree programs at CU-Boulder are currently required to take Master's Comprehensive exams. The exam is a four-hour essay exam which covers major themes emphasized in the graduate course work. Prior to taking the exam, students will be provided with study questions and guidance from their program advisors. What follows are several possible sequences of course work for PEP teachers. For example, some PEP teachers might have coursework which transfers in and applies to their program area.
Some teachers wish to, for financial reasons, finish the program more quickly than others.
The list below isn't exhaustive but is presented to demonstrate various possibilities available to PEP participants. Once enrolled, we will work out a manageable degree plan for each student. Of course other options are available, depending on your goals for finishing. For example, if you don't wish to attend school summers, you may take additional coursework during the 2002-2003 academic year, as well. Also, some courses which may interest you are offered only during the academic year.
