Full-time master’s degrees are offered in a two-year timeframe, while part-time degrees are offered in a three-year timeframe. Prior to the start of their studies, students take math and English placement exams and are required to complete preparatory coursework one month before the start of the academic year. Prior to the start of their second year, students must pass a comprehensive examination. All students are required to complete several core classes; they also have a choice of elective courses, and write a thesis in their final semester.
