Appendix C

The special curriculum is based on 30 hours of course credit. While it is expected that most students will not complete the curriculum in one year, as many courses as possible should be taken during one year of full-time enrollment in the department. All students are required to take the Core Courses. The selection of the other courses should be made in consultation with the student's advisor and based upon a consideration of the student's prior training.
