500-series course limitations
Courses in the 500 series (595, 597, 599) normally are taken in preparation for the Master’s Review, for the Field Examinations or Oral Qualifying Examination, and for dissertation research. 596 normally is taken in order to enable individual study and research under a faculty member's supervision and guidance.
Students in their fourth and fifth quarter of residence must enroll in 595 with their MA committee chair. While these courses may be taken to maintain enrollment, they do not count toward the course requirements.
