- What are the degree requirements?
The MSSE is a 30-hour degree (requires ten three-semester-hour courses). See the program description.
- What are the differences between the Executive Masters and the standard Masters programs?
Primarily scheduling format
and teaching style. A group of students are admitted as a class and complete the program together, all taking the same set of courses. Courses are taught as a series of five eight-hour sessions, giving students
the same number of class hours as in traditionally delivered three-semester-credit-hour courses. Instructors’ teaching styles will more interactive and less lecture-listen in this extended-session format.

is no difference between the executive-format and traditional-format degree programs.

Not at this time.
