An MSAEM can be earned by a combination of coursework and an approved thesis (Plan I) or by coursework only (Plan II). Most distance learning students elect to complete the coursework only degree option. On-campus students supported by assistantships are expected to complete an approved thesis. Students have six years to complete either the Plan I or Plan II programs.
