Directions:

1. Departments wishing to establish Accelerated Master’s Programs should submit a short memo to the Advisory Board identifying:

• The undergraduate majors that would be eligible for the graduate program,
• Any requirements that are in addition to, or more stringent than, the minimums stated below, and
• The faculty coordinator and faculty committee that will administer the program.
• Attach sample curriculum and identify any core or required courses

2. Obtain signatures of the proposed unit administrator and department or committee head and college dean or Director of Graduate Interdisciplinary Programs. Signature verifies that the proposal has received faculty approval through appropriate procedures and that the unit has the resources to support the certificate. In some situations signatures of more than one dean or department head may be required. If the program changes have a commitment of resources from other than the initiating unit, the signature of the collaborating department/committee head and collaborating college dean is also required. If you have any questions, please contact Dianne Horgan, dhorgan@email.arizona.edu.

3. Forward the original to Dianne Horgan in the Graduate College and retain a copy for departmental files.

4. Documents must be submitted in a timely manner to move through the campus approval process. UA campus protocols include review by the Graduate Council or designated representative and the Provost Management Group for final formal approval.
