Completion of the Degree
Part-Time vs. Full-Time Program Schedule
The MAS-IA curriculum consists of a total of 12 courses (48 degree units). The program is designed as a one-year degree, which requires students to enroll in four courses each quarter. In an effort to accommodate working professionals, the degree may be completed in two years by attending school part-time. An outline of the full-time and part-time paces and corresponding fee structures is provided below.
Please Note: only U.S. citizens and permanent residents are eligible for the part-time program; international students must enroll in full-time study to maintain non-immigrant (F-1 or J-1) status.
