The relationship between your doctoral program and your master's programs.

The doctoral and master's programs are separate, both in admissions and in coursework. In terms of admissions, applicants must specify which program to direct their application. Students who are not offered admission to the doctoral program may request that their application be considered for the master's program, with no extra application fee. Students enrolled in the doctoral program do not earn a "master's-along-the-way." With the exception of a few courses, coursework for students in the doctoral program is separate from that of the master's program.
