## MS in Research Administration

The MS in Research Administration program is designed to accommodate career practitioners as well as those who seek a career in research administration. The program requires that students complete a core curriculum of four courses and two focus areas, or one focus area and a concentration. As part of the core curriculum, students must either write a thesis or engage in an approved capstone project. In all, students must take a total of 12 or more courses, regardless of whether the course offers three credits or four. Courses within the focus areas are grouped in areas of interest to benefit students who work or want to work in various areas of research administration, or who may have varying levels of experience or special needs. The three focus areas are: Program Administration and Facilitation; Financial Management of Sponsored Programs; and Compliance, Legal, and Regulatory Issues. The concentration is a concentration in International Research Administration Management.
