MSFE CURRICULUM 2010-11

For the class of 2010-2011, the MSFE Program requires the completion of 36 points on a full time basis only.  Students start with an 8 week part I summer session (July 6- August 27, 2010), and continues through the 2010-2011 academic year.  Students may complete the program in May 2011, August 2011 or December 2011.  

All courses are for 3 credits, unless stated otherwise.

The curriculum below assumes that the student will complete the degree by May 2010.

The Department requires that students achieve grades of B- or higher in each of the four fundamental core courses offered in the first summer.
