Also, please describe or provide a link to program admissions policies that allow students to enter with credit for prior graduate work, and the expected implications for time to completion. Please indicate NA if not applicable:
Our program gives no credit for degrees held prior to entry, therefore no students qualify for “advanced standing” at entry.
