Graduate Admission: Gateways to MAE Admission & Degree Completion
The MAE program is designed with two or three points of reflection at which progress is assessed before the student moves to the next level of professional preparation. If a deficit is identified at any of these gateways, the student and program director can then discuss an individual learning plan to redress those concerns. With the approval of the Dean of Graduate & Continuing Studies, this individual learning plan may allow the student to begin or continue the program. The conditions agreed upon must be completed within a specific period of time.
