Post-Baccalaureate Entry Option
Students entering the doctoral program through the post-baccalaureate entry option complete a minimum of 91 graduate credits. Students can earn a MS degree upon completion of 31 to 72 credits depending on the MS specialty program they choose. The program can be completed in four to five years full-time study and involves fewer credits than when completing a master’s and a doctoral separately.
Application is made to the doctoral program; however, a master's level specialty is identified at the time of application. A doctoral-level emphasis area is identified after the end of the first year of full-time study, at which time students are assessed to determine eligibility to proceed with doctoral study.
