Degree Requirements (36 Hours)
The Master of Retailing curriculum consists of 36 semester hours of graduate credit in approved courses. Twenty-one semester hours of credit are in core courses required for all Master of Retailing majors. Required courses help students acquire decision-making tools to solve real-world problems. Additionally, the faculty members use the case method and group projects, which build competency in oral and written analysis of complex business situations. According to academic regulations of The Graduate School, at least half of the credit hours on a Program of Study, exclusive of thesis preparation (RETL 799 ), must be earned in courses numbered 700 and above. When selecting RETL and general electives, be sure to choose a sufficient number of courses at the 700 level to meet this requirement. General requirements—academic or professional option:
