During your first or second semester of coursework, consult with your initial advisor or other faculty you've worked with about faculty members who would be appropriate as committee members. The assigned initial advisor does NOT need to be a committee member. For master's degree students, two committee members (including the advisor) should be faculty members in Curriculum and Instruction; a third faculty member should come from outside the three departments that make up Curriculum and Instruction. Once three faculty members have agreed to serve as committee members, submit a list of the committee members to the Office Associate who will make a copy for your file and forward to the Registrar's Office.
All work on a master's degree must be completed within six (6) calendar years from the date of admission.
