The Program of Study for a master’s candidate should be submitted to the Graduate School as early as possible and no later than the beginning of the semester preceding the anticipated semester of graduation (e.g., for anticipated graduation in spring, submit the Program of Study no later than the beginning of the preceding fall semester).

For professionally oriented programsprofessional master's programs, the Program of Study may include predefined coursework required by their professional curriculum, subject to prior approval by the Faculty Senate and Graduate School. As noted, these programs may also have a predetermined advisory committee. In such cases, each student does not have an individual Program of Study, and the program director should submit a completed Program of Study: Professionally Oriented CohortProfessional Master's Cohort form. The chair or director is responsible for ensuring the Program of Study meets the minimum requirements of the respective professional graduate program and the Graduate School.

2. Filing the Program of Study

After the graduate student completes the proposed Program of Study, it must be signed by each advisory committee member and submitted to the chair or director of the graduate program, department, or school, who ensures that it meets the program and Graduate School requirements. The chair, director, or the graduate program coordinator will submit the Program of Study to the Graduate School via the GRM module in myWSU for approval to ensure that it meets the Graduate School's minimum requirements. For professionally oriented professional master’s programs only, if using the cohort cohort Program of Study, students do not sign the document. The chair/director will submit the completed form to the Graduate School via email to gradschool@wsu.edu.
