The above time limits are example time limits and can change accordingly to degree programs' adjustments. For example, if a degree were to reduce its requirements for credits, its time limit would decrease, as well. These are general guidelines that apply in equal proportion to all graduate degrees offered at the Graduate School-Camden. For degrees not mentioned here, please contact the Graduate School administration.

These time limits can be waived with permission of the graduate director and the Graduate Dean.
