Master S Degree in Teaching and Curriculum Program Plan

Master’s Degree in Teaching and Curriculum Program Plan

College of Education

Each student and his/her advisor must prepare a program plan before the student completes 10 semester hours. Degree candidates must obtain final program approval from their advisor before the semester in which they enroll for the final course in their program. This will help ensure that the final degree certification is not delayed due to an outdated program plan on file.

Department/Program/Code:

All requirements (including transfer credits) must be completed within five calendar years from the date of the first course accepted toward the degree requirements. The final twenty credits must be completed while the student is accepted to a degree program (not a lifelong or grad cert student).
