A student earning a master's degree is required to complete a minimum of 24 credit hours at Rensselaer for each Master of Science or Master of Engineering degree sought.

Students engaged in working professional programs (part-time students) must complete all work for the master's degrees requiring 30 credits within three calendar years of the original admission date. Those working professionals pursuing master's degrees requiring 60 credits must complete the requirements within five years, beginning with the date of the original admissions letter. Extensions may only be granted if the student is in good academic standing and has an acceptable Plan of Study. Working professionals must petition the Dean responsible for Education for Working Professionals for an extension. Final approval may be granted by the Dean of Graduate Education at Rensselaer.
