Time Limits for Graduate Degrees


All students are urged to consider carefully the educational and economic benefits of completing their programs as quickly as possible. The normal maximum time limit for a master's degree is three years for full-time students and six years for part-time students. Soon after being admitted to graduate study, each student should consult with a faculty adviser and work out a reasonable timetable for meeting the requirements. Any student requiring an extension beyond the normal time limits should petition the dean of the School of Management and Labor Relations for the master of human resource management (M.H.R.M.) and the master of labor and employment relations (M.L.E.R.) programs, and the Graduate School-New Brunswick for the doctoral program in industrial relations and human resources (I.R.H.R.). Normally, the schools may grant such a request if the evidence shows the petition is justified, the student is in good standing, and the faculty in charge of the student's program certifies that satisfactory progress is being made.
