Design Your Own Degree Plan For Maximum Flexibility
The Master of Multidisciplinary Studies (MMDS) is a 30-semester credit hour degree that can be customized to meet individual students’ needs. The degree integrates courses from at least two disciplines. The program's flexibility encourages students to create a degree plan that will provide them with the skill sets they seek.
Admission to the MMDS requires students to:
- Submit a graduate school application for the MMDS
- Additionally submit
- a “certificate identification form’ which is the application for the graduate certificate.
- supplementary documents for the certificate, if applicable.
Students will then complete the rest of the 30 hours for the MMDS by taking complementary courses. Note that
- Complementary courses must be approved by the MMDS program advisor and the department housing each course prior to enrollment.
- Students in the MMDS can take certificate and approved complementary courses simultaneously.
- It is possible for students to use completed courses from a second graduate certificate to fulfill all or parts of the complementary course work for the MMDS.
