Graduate School Requirement for the Special Project
“The special project requires the application or drawing together of knowledge and skills acquired in the graduate program.

The master’s degree is conferred after successful completion of a minimum 36 credits including the special project.” (2008-2009 Graduate Catalog, p. 36) Back to the top
