Students that are entering into the program can apply up to 15 credits of coursework that is graded B or higher. 46 credits are needed for the core courses, which includes 10 credits toward an internship for pre-service students, or additional electives for established working professionals, and the six-credit Applied Policy Capstone Project. An additional 16 credits are needed for the concentration electives.
