About 10% of MEM students, especially international candidates, are full time students, taking 3-4 courses per quarter. The MEM program is flexible, so you can take it full time or part time. You take the same evening classes with experienced working students on Monday -Thursday from 6:30 till 9:30 PM.
- Students may take three or four classes per quarter for the same full time tuition fee.
- Because of the sequential nature of MEM courses, full time students should start in the Fall.
- You can graduate in June with a schedule of 4 courses per quarter.
- You can also elect to take 3 courses per quarter and extend studies through the next fall recruiting season.
- As a professional degree program, there are no teaching or research positions available.
Much of your success in graduate study in the United States will rest on your ability to understand, read, write and speak English. For students whose primary language of instruction was not English, a TOEFL score of 600 or higher on the paper-based test, 250 or higher on the computer-based test, 100 or higher on the internet based test is required. For the IELTS, you must receive a score of 7.0 or higher.
