Master’s Degree Course Requirements

The program requires 35 credits, is designed with full-time students in mind, and may be completed in 12 months, beginning in May. However, students who enter with education study equivalent to one of the courses below may have their syllabi reviewed for waiver of course(s).  In no case will fewer than 30 graduate credits be required.

(courses with * include field experience)

Liberal Arts Content Requirements

The requirements of this program include several undergraduate history and other social science courses. It is not unusual that an applicant will have one or more of these courses left to take. These do not need to be completed before applying and may be taken at an institution other than Syracuse University. However, some of the courses need to be done before starting the graduate program, and all must be finished before a degree can be granted. We need to approve courses to be taken, and can help students identify appropriate courses.

Applicants will have transcripts reviewed against these requirements. Early review allows more time to enroll in needed courses in winter and spring terms, before the program begins in May.
