Petitions to add or transfer to/from specialty tracks are reviewed in Autumn Semester once a year by the Graduate Studies Committee. Consideration of petitions to add or transfers to/from tracks is based on available space in specialty tracks. Approval of addition or transfer requests is not guaranteed.
