Degree Requirements
The MSETM curriculum is flexible; permitting you to build a strong degree that directly addresses your needs and prepares you for the future. The degree consists of 32 credit hours. Courses are divided into three categories: Required, Core and Supplemental.
The Required courses include; ETM 5111, typically taken during the first semester of the program; and ETM 5110 (5133) which ideally is taken during the last semester of the program. These two courses (4-credit hours) constitute the creative component.
The remaining 28 credit hours are made up of Core and Supplemental courses. A minimum of 14 credits must be earned from the list of Core courses, representing priority areas of the program. The remaining hours may be chosen from either the Core or Supplemental set.
The MSETM program also allows for up to six credit hours of Technical Electives in areas where additional depth is desired, such as a technical specialty or other area of career need.
Up to nine hours of coursework may be considered for transfer into the program if taken for graduate credit from an accredited institution in which a “B” or better is earned. This can include coursework taken at another university while enrolled in the MSETM program.
In addition, OSU’s Graduate College requirements common to all program must be met, for example, at least 21 credit hours contributing to the degree must be at the 5XXX level or above. In the OSU system, the last digit of the course number indicates the number of credit hours. (Ex. XXX1= 1 credit hour) The credit hour value of courses ending in zero will be indicated on the course schedule.
