Graduate Portfolio Programs
Portfolio programs are opportunities for students to obtain credentials in a cross-disciplinary academic area of inquiry while they are completing the requirements for a master's or doctor's degree in a particular discipline. A portfolio program usually consists of four thematically related graduate courses and a research presentation; for master's portfolio programs, a practical experience related to the portfolio program may replace the presentation.
Portfolio programs are not degree programs. To be eligible to participate in a portfolio program, students must be admitted into one of the university's graduate degree programs.
