Some important questions • Is there a demonstrated demand for this degree program? • Is the faculty committed to teach the MAS? • What are the admissions requirements? • Does the proposed program have a capstone requirement? • Have the financial aspects of the program been fully worked through?
Some recommendations • Consult with OGS (Steve Cassedy and Mary Allen). • Secure letters of support from industry or leaders in the field of the proposed MAS. • Remember that your readers are not experts in the proposed field. • Remember that this is a professional degree, not an academic degree.
