Planned Program of Study

• The Planned Program of Study is a contract between the student and the University stating all courses and requirements for earning a MA degree.
• Students must meet with Lisa Mullen, graduate program specialist, early in the first semester of study to complete the planned program.
• Failure to submit a planned program may result in registration holds and inability to complete key program requirements, such as the practicum, master's seminar and comprehensive exam.

Note: Students electing options which alter this basic plan should do so only after consulting with the academic advisor. Optional plans may require coursework at another USF campus.

Practicum in Adult Education
The practicum is usually undertaken by those students with little/no experience or current involvement in the field of adult education. Students taking practicum must complete a minimum of 120 hours in the field. Other criteria will be covered when the student meets with the academic advisor to obtain approval of the practicum.

Students with experience in adult education will identify, with an advisor, an elective to take in place of the practicum.
 

Comprehensive Exam
The comprehensive exam is a culminating activity that is undertaken as part of the Master's Seminar. Submit application to sit for comprehensive exam by deadline for the term you plan to take Master's Seminar and the comprehensive exam.
