Additional Information & Requirements

The coursework required for a CRM M.A. at Sonoma State totals 30 academic units and is typically completed in six to seven semesters, although faster completion is possible. This design presumes that students are enrolled full-time and not working more than part-time. We have found that working students struggle to carry full graduate loads; consequently it can take more than three years for working students to complete the program of study, inclusive of thesis research and writing. Ideally, coursework proceeds in conjunction with a student's developing interests and expertise, so that by the time s/he is ready to write a thesis prospectus, the completed courses help focus the upcoming research project.
