The Twin Cities program is designed to bring a complete set of course offerings to working professionals in the metro area on a regular basis. The program offers one course per term, three terms per year, on a revolving basis. Classes meet one evening per week in fall and spring semesters and two evenings per week in summer session. By taking three thesis credits and one additional course, students can earn all the course credits necessary for the Master’s degree in the metro area through the extended learning program.
The Admission and Program Requirements for the Twin Cities Program are the same as for the on campus program. Follow appropriate links for this information.
Students may begin the cycle of coursework in any academic term. With continuous enrollment through the complete cycle, they will complete 27 of 33 required credits in three years. In addition to the cycle, students must complete one additional graduate course in sociology/corrections or another social science through extended learning or at the main campus. Three thesis credits (699) and a thesis will then complete the degree requirements.
