It is proposed that a fourth degree
plan be added so that the university can better serve students who are interested
in ‘professional’ Master’s degree programs. Professional Master’s degree programs
are typically designed to add value to students’ total educational portfolio
by providing training in areas that will enhance their competitiveness in
the workplace. Professional Master’s degree programs are not intended to feed
a Ph.D. program.
The proposed new fourth
degree plan would be identified as “Plan D: Course Work Only” in university
publications and on students’ transcripts.
