Master's degree students must select one of three academic track options before completing their Core Courses: Thesis, Non-Thesis, and Internship.

Non-Thesis or Internship students will take a Master's Comprehensive Examination at the end of their program of study. The Comprehensive Examination is a timed exam that is not proctored. Upon successful completion of the examination, students will be eligible for graduation.

To be eligible to take the Master's Comprehensive Examination, a student is required to:

1. meet with their advisor to select an examination date.
2. be in good academic standing,
3. have completed all degree requirements with a cumulative grade point average (GPA) of 3.0 or higher, and
4. register for the examination at least 30 days prior to the exam date.

Non-refundable fees: Students who do not take their Master's Comprehensive Exam on the scheduled date will forfeit all fees associated with the exam.
