Can I complete the MA in Medical Sciences Program in 12 months?
Yes, the program requires enrollment in four semesters and can be completed in 12 months by utilizing the two summer semesters. The total cost of tuition is the same for both the 12 month and two year path. To complete the program in 12 months, you must register full-time (12-16 credits) in the fall and spring semesters and for at least 2 credits in both summer sessions. Students pay full-time tuition for the Fall/Spring semesters but only need to pay the continuing student fee (which is equivalent to 2 credits) for the 2 summer sessions. If students opt to complete the program in 2 years, students still only pay the continuing student fee (equivalent to 2 credits), or per credit hour for additional coursework, during the Fall/Spring of the second year. Students completing the program in 2 years do not need to register for either summer session.
