Starting in autumn 2011, we are combining our day and evening MS programs into one program called the Professional MS program.
What does this mean for current students? No changes! Your curriculum and scheduled courses will remain the same. The only change to you is how you locate information online. Under “Programs and Advising,” you will find the Professional MS program. Current MS students can find their information in the “Current Students” link in the upper right-hand corner. This will take you into MyHCDE where you will find all your student information, as well as additional information on travel and department policies.
Have questions, ask Gian!!
