Study Your Way Through the Program with Your Cohort
The SAHE program is organized to support cohort groupings of students enrolled in a prescribed sequence of courses.
A minimum of 42 credits (36 required and 6 credits of elective or thesis), the successful completion of a portfolio, and the equivalent of two academic years of full-time study are required to earn the MA degree. The curriculum is designed to offer foundational and theory courses in the first year and application courses in the second year. Students are accepted for summer or fall enrollment only.
