Courses - M.S. DEGREE Course requirements: 10 courses from specified areas, or 8 courses and a thesis In the CCSP area you are required to choose 4 major area courses and 2 minor area courses Courses - Ph.D. DEGREE The expectation is that you will complete the MS course requirements if you do not already have an MS degree Almost all students will initially take courses even if they already have an MS degree 5
