As you enter the master’s program, a program director of the master’s program will work with you on an individual basis to develop your initial plan of study for the chosen track. You’ll then be assigned a faculty advisor who will assist you as you progress through the course sequence to ensure that all requirements are met. Your plan of study is flexible within certain limits and you  have up to six years to complete the program.
