Graduate programs are designed to keep your learning current, which means your coursework should reflect up-to-date knowledge and standards in your chosen field. Every degree has a time limit: master's requirements must be completed within six (6) years, and doctoral requirements within ten (10) years. The clock starts with the first course you complete toward your current degree. If you think you may need more time, contact the Graduate School. They can walk you through your options and help you stay on track to graduate.
