Time-to-Degree Completion
The M.Eng. degree is designed so that a Distance Education student can complete the degree in five (5) years. Some students complete the degree within a shorter period by taking two courses in a semester, though the workload for two courses can be challenging on top of a full-time job and family responsibilities. All requirements for the M.Eng. degree must be completed within eight (8) years of being admitted to the Acoustics Program as a degree student.
In certain circumstances, extensions beyond the eight-year limit may be granted by the Director of Graduate Enrollment Services. Students seeking an extension must petition the Acoustics Program Director, who if circumstances warrant, will request an extension from Graduate Enrollment Services. The student's petition must include an explanation for why the extension is needed, a timeline for degree completion, and a supporting letter from the student’s adviser. Under only the most extraordinary circumstances will the Acoustics Program consider an extension of more than two years.
