(For the Landscape, Ecology, and Community concentration and its course of study, please click here.)
Presented below is an outline for full-time study, which includes for two summers participating in a two-week residency (Fishtrap and on-campus) and for two academic years taking a pair of 3- or 4-cr courses each quarter (fall through spring), a genre-specific workshop and a special topics class. For those seeking a lighter course load, some part-time study is possible by way of attending a third summer on-campus residency and/or regularly enrolling in a variety of 1-cr practicum offerings and substituting four practicum credits for a regular 4-cr course. Please note: To be eligible for federal financial aid, a graduate student must take a minimum of 4.5 credits in a given term.
