Credit Requirements
A candidate for the master's degree must normally complete at least 30 semester hours of credit in a program requiring a thesis and at least 33 semester hours in a nonthesis program. Nonthesis options are available in all departments of the College of Education and in the Department of English. The M.B.A. in the College of Business Administration is a nonthesis program but requires only 30 hours. The master's program in Health & Physical Education requires only 30 hours. The master's program in Educational Psychology within the Department of Counseling and Psychology requires 30 hours for the non-thesis option and 33 hours for the thesis option.
At least 21 semester credits including the thesis shall be required at the 6000 level in a thesis program for the master's degree; at least 23 semester credits at the 6000 level shall be required in a nonthesis master's program. The remainder of the courses in the program of study may be at the 5000 level; however, not more than 30 percent of the courses in a student's program of study may be in dually numbered 4000 (5000) courses. Courses below the 5000 level will not be counted toward a graduate degree; and, although they may appear on the written program as background requirements, these courses are not figured into degree requirements.
