Degree Program Change

Students may change their master's degree program to another if they meet the academic qualifications and if the program is not at capacity.

Catalog Year Applicability

  • When changing a master's degree program, students are subject to the catalog requirements in effect at the time the request is initiated or approved, depending on campus-specific policy.
  • When changing a specialization within the same program, the original catalog year typically remains unchanged.

Advising Recommendation

Students are strongly encouraged to consult with their Program Coordinator or Department Chair to understand how the change may impact their academic progress and degree requirements.
