Starting in fall terms, full-time, accelerated MS students are expected to complete 30 hours of coursework during their first 3 academic terms, including the summer term. Courses listed as “core” below are required by the program’s track. Electives are available within each track, but neither track requires any electives to successfully complete the program.

A 21-month plan-of-study is available for students who need to move at a slower pace through the program, e.g. a student with clinical responsibilities. Part-time status is also an option.
