Students with Master's Degrees

​Although students may receive a general Master's degree after completion of their second-year project, only students intending to finish a full doctoral program should apply. Students with a master's degree from another school may get credit for their master's thesis if it meets the standards of our clinical science faculty. It must be a complete research thesis rather than a pilot study or library research. The thesis must be defended and submitted to the previous school prior to enrollment at the University of Delaware. Students who come with a master's degree, or graduate coursework from other schools, are generally expected to take all of our clinical courses, required seminars, and practica. An exception may occasionally be made if the student can demonstrate (with syllabi and reading lists) that a previous course covered the same areas as the corresponding course given by our faculty.
