Website Accessiblity  Granting Of A Master's Degree  Students
who satisfactorily complete the requirements for the first two
years of the doctoral programs are considered to have fulfilled
the requirements for a master's degree in their specific field
(the area of the qualifying examination, e.g., operations
research, accounting, economics, etc.).  Students who leave the
doctoral program after two years without having satisfied all of
the requirements may petition the faculty (through the Ph.D.
Committee) for the granting of a master's degree.  Each case
will be considered individually, there being no presumption that
two years in residence are necessarily sufficient to earn the
master's degree.  Footer Navigation
