will find it necessary to eY.ceed the minimum requirement indicn.ted helow. (Consult
departments for MBA, MSW, and MCRP minima.)
The approved degree program for the master's degree is a coherent pattern of (1) specific
requirements for the program as li ted in the Graduate Bulletin and {2) additional courses
selected to meet the stude nt's particular needs.' It CO!'!sists of at least 30 units completed after
the bachelor's degree and within five years just preceding the granting of the master's
degree. Only gradual course.~ {200 serie ) and such upper division courses (100 series) as
are recommended by the chools or department and approved by the Graduate Council are
acceptable on the unit requirement. Other courses are counted in calculating the student's
study load, but cannot be counted toward th unit requirement For the master's degree. The

2. Transfer credit may be used toward a master's degree only if the institution offering t~e

appropriate university authorities to be particularly relevant to the individual student's

event thut the extensi.on course is offered under conditions similar to those for a course
normally u able on a master's program, a student may request special permission to use
such an extension course on his program. Student teaching credit is not ordinarily used
on master's degree programs. In unusual circumstances, if student teaching is
demonstrably appropriate to a program, up to 3 units of such work may be approved
by the Gn~duate Council. Credit by examination may be used to fulfill prerequisites, but
may not apply toward the 30 units.
