What type of degree program is offered?
The I/O program at the University of Maryland only offers a full-time, day program leading to a Ph.D. We do not offer a terminal Master s degree, night classes, or permit completion of the program on a part-time basis. A Master s degree is earned as progress towards a Ph.D. However, we do not admit students who are only interested in receiving a Master s degree. In this manner, we are able to keep the faculty to student ratio very small, and we can focus upon doctoral students only.
