As an MAIS student you have the option of registering for part-time or full-time study.

You can finish the program in less time, but if you are working full-time, we do not recommend that you take more than 9 hours per semester.

Considerations for Admissions
All components of the admissions application are considered holistically. Regular admission may be granted to applicants who have achieved a grade point average of 3.0 (4.0 scale) or better in the last two years of work leading to a bachelor’s degree. The GRE is not required; however, test scores can help provide the admissions committee with additional information. International students who are from a country whose native language is not English must provide evidence of English proficiency as indicated by acceptable scores on the TOEFL or IELTS. See additional requirements for international students.
