The
University Senate of
Background
MTU currently offers three
Masters Degree plans:
Proposal
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.
